Is Christmas a good time to visit New York?

December is a great time to visit New York, although a little crowded. It usually isn't too cold yet, and we don't typically have a lot of snow until January or February (although there have been instances of even October snow!) so you should be okay weather-wise.

What is open in NYC on Christmas Day?

The rinks at Bryant Park, Central Park's Wollman and Lasker rinks, Rockefeller Center, Prospect Park and Brookfield Place all open for skating on Christmas Day, weather permitting.
