When the temperatures start to dip and New Yorkers begin reaching for their oversized sweaters and trusty black puffer coats, there’s one thing we know for sure: ice skating season has arrived baby! And from Rockefeller Center’s iconic rink (which opens very soon on October 12th) to Industry City’s festive open-air ice rink, and, of course, Wollman Rink at Central Park, one thing’s for certain: New York City sure does know how to give ice skaters what they want. And this season yet another ice skating rink will join NYC’s roster!
The first-ever ice skating rink to open on the Williamsburg waterfront will freeze over this November inside Domino Park’s brand new public plaza, Domino Square. And while we don’t have all the details yet there’s one thing we’re certain about: you won’t want to miss out on shredding up the ice at this rink!
That’s because the rink’s location means it will boast stunning views of the NYC skyline being it’s right on the Williamsburg waterfront. And those views, along with the rink itself, can be enjoyed on even the most frigid of days as, according to a rendering (which looks stunning with the snow-draped trees dispersed throughout the area), it looks like there will be a cute little rinkside hot cocoa stand to help keep you cozy all winter long.
So again, while we don’t have many details regarding the new Williamsburg ice skating rink to share as of yet, we couldn’t contain our excitement with sharing the news with you, and of course we’ll be sure to keep you updated as we learn more! In the meantime, here are some fabulous things to do in NYC this fall to keep you busy while you wait.
