The only winter rooftop ice rink starts in New York: where and when

New York's only rooftop skating rink will open this Friday, November 22. This is the second season of the winter skating rink on the pier №17, notes the publication 6sqft.

Winter ice skating in New York is an indispensable item in the entertainment program for both tourists and local residents. To this end, you can visit the Rockefeller Center festive ice rink, the winter village of Bryant Park and even the brand new ice rink on the runway of the TWA Aviation Hotel.

“But there is only one ice rink in the Big Apple, where you can skate on the roof of a skyscraper and enjoy a breathtaking view of the city,” the newspaper emphasizes.

So, the city's only outdoor skating rink on the roof is located in the seaport area, at the foot of the Brooklyn Bridge on the East River. Namely - on the roof of Pier 17 (Pier 17). And this Friday, November 22, the second season of this wonderful winter location starts.

The area of ​​this rink is almost 1700 square meters. It housed a skate shop, a winter market and a “warming hut” with food and drinks. But the main reason you should visit this place is the stunning view of the cityscape.

Recall that in 2018, the Sites Preservation Commission approved Howard Hughes’s plan to transform this location into a winter rooftop village. Thanks to the work of this skating rink, the seaport area has become a year-round attraction.

Admission prices skating rinks and skates will start at $ 23 per week and $ 26 at the weekend.
