Winter Activities In NYC

BREAKFAST

The Rink at Rockefeller Center is one of New York City’s most celebrated winter attractions. Pros can show off their skills and newbies can take skating lessons. Rent skates or bring your own. Make a reservation at www.therinkatrockcenter.com.

When in New York City, eat a bagel. Or, better yet, a bialy. It’s tradition! Both are baked to perfection at Kossar’s, an institution of the Lower East Side for the past 82 years. Visit www. kossars.com.

BRUNCH

Renowned for its popular weekend brunch, Sarabeth’s offers contemporary American fare at each of its five locations throughout the city. Visit www. sarabethsrestaurants.com.

f escaping to a warm and sunny climate isn’t an option for you this winter, don’t worry. There are plenty of fun activities to do in New York City, which is only a train ride away. Embrace the cold with outdoor pursuits or stay warm inside at one of NYC’s many museums or Broadway theaters. Here are a few ideas for a getaway in the Big Apple.

The best Cuban sandwiches in Manhattan can be found at Margon, a cozy, casual restaurant near Times Square. Try an authentic Cubano or another hot entrée with a side of black beans and plantains. Yum. Visit www. margon.has.restaurant.
