Every year in Bryant Park, the city converts the large green space into a massive, public ice skating rink surrounded by a wide variety of food and crafts vendors. Fortunately for us at EC New York, Bryant Park is right around the corner from us. Not only does the skating rink offer stunning views of the park, but it is free to skate! The winter village has been an annual event for vendors since 2o02, and the ice skating rink since 2005.
In addition to shopping and skating, visitors can sip hot chocolate and try other foods from vendors. If you’re there at the right time, you can take free juggling lessons or play ping pong outside under the trees.
On Friday the seventh, EC New York students went ice skating in Bryant Park and walked around Winter Village. Look at these great photos taken by student ambassador and activity leader, Patricia!
