Bryant Park Winter Village opens
The Bank of America Winter Village at Bryant Park has opened for the season complete with free admission ice skating, lots of shops, food and drinks.
NEW YORK - New Yorkers can once again celebrate "the most wonderful time of the year" in Midtown.
Bank of America Winter Village at Bryant Park is the city’s only free admission skating rink for people with ice skates. If you don’t, not to worry, skate rentals are available between $18 and $45.
Overlooking the rink is a towering winter lodge pop-up with hot drinks, s’mores, artisanal sausages, and cocktails.
Due to the pandemic, last year the village shops were only at 30% capacity, but now they are back with 170 various local vendors. From apparel to candles, and jewelry, it’s the perfect place to roam for holiday gift ideas.
