Traveling to New York is something that we should all do in our life, if only to see Central Park or Times Square. If you have already decided to visit the Big Apple, now you just have to decide the time of year when you would like to travel or when you can do it.
If you have no choice but to go in winter or you think this could be a good time to visit the city of skyscrapers, today we are going to make you decide, because we are going to give you a few reasons to travel to New York during the coldest months of the year.
The Christmas spirit
Without a doubt, one of the best times to visit the Big Apple is at Christmas, since the Christmas spirit that lives there is incomparable: stained glass windows and decorated streets, discounts in shops and markets, the Rockefeller Center tree, the festivities in Times Square …
Ice skating
Another attraction of New York in winter is its incredible ice rinks. The most famous are at Rockefeller Cente r and Central Park, although you can find other indoor and outdoor tracks in other areas of the city.
Restaurant Week
During the winter, NYC Restaurant Week is also held . For a couple of weeks you will have the opportunity to visit some of the most prestigious restaurants in the city, where you can enjoy a 3-course meal at very affordable prices. Of course, you have to reserve the tables in advance.
Go to the theater
If one of your goals when traveling to New York is to go to the theater, you should know that in winter it is easier to get tickets for the wide billboard that Broadway theaters offer.
Snowy landscape
Finally, it is worth traveling to New York in winter just to see parks like Central Park, Washington Square or Brooklyn Prospect Park covered in snow.
