What would the Bank of America Winter Village at Bryant Park be without its famed Curling Café and cozy igloos? Now that the holiday attraction has opened for the season, and the Christmas tree lighting has been scheduled for December, we’re curious when the rest of the winter festivities will kick off.
Fortunately, we won’t have to wait terribly long. Reservations are now available for the first-ever iceless curling experience — which opens on Wednesday, November 13th — so the activity can be enjoyed if we get another unseasonal heatwave, which we almost definitely will.
Reservations at the Curling Café covers up to eight who can experience “street” or iceless curling on their own dedicated curling lane for 90 minutes. Plus, the reservation even includes the coziest heated bubble igloo tent with food and drinks. Packages start at $300, but do keep in mind that refunds are unavailable, so make sure to book with certainty. Additionally, the park has reserved the right to cancel reservations during extreme weather conditions.
Packages include:
- A carafe of hot chocolate or hot apple cider
- Crispy french fries
- Chicken tenders or sliders or cheese board or mac & cheese
- Additional food and beverage options à la carte
The Curling Café is open Monday through Sunday 11:30 a.m. – 10 p.m and is located on the Bryant Park Café deck, on the north side of the park along 42nd St behind the New York Public Library. Meanwhile, the igloos boast amazing views of the Winter Village in all its holiday glory. Enjoy drinks from hot chocolate to apple cider, in addition to small bites such as chicken fingers, lil hot dogs, a hummus dip plate, and more in a cozy, festive setting.
Should you only be interested solely in the igloos (sans curling), they open to the public on November 7th and you can book a 90-minute reservation today. Keep in mind this reservation does not include skating access.
See you there in November!
