In many cities there are few activities to partake in during the winter. However New York is a city that never sleeps and activities are numerous. One of my favorite things to do is ice skating. My favorite place to skate is Bryant Park. This is because it is free to skate at Bryant Park if you have your own ice skates. Also it is located on 42nd street a few blocks from Times Square so after I have finished skating I refill the tank with food and check other activities. Another activity that I love to partake in during the winter time is to watch the tree lighting ceremony at Rockefeller Center. This tree is nothing short of amazing. There is a search for large trees that takes place. The past trees that have been found have been large. It is breathtaking to see the size of these trees. The tree at the New York Stock Exchange is quite impressive also. I also view the New York Stock Exchange after, which is the most important financial market in the world. Then I visit Trinity Church; one of the oldest churches in the country. It also has the graves of some of the famous Americans from the 17th century. I then walk down to the ferry and take a trip to Staten Island and back. On the ferry I pass by the Statue of Liberty which is the symbol of American liberty.
