New York City is an amazing place to visit any time of year, however during the winter it is extra special. Once all of the excitement of the holiday season is over, there are still a million things to do. When I first got engaged , I wanted to bring my fiancee there so she could see the city where I grew up. Our first stop was Central Park. Central Park is home to Wollman Rink, an ice skating rink. You can skate for very little and enjoy hot cocoa or coffee . They sell hot pretzels as well. You forget that you are in New York City. After skating for hours, we were tired and needed food. We hailed a cab and decided to have lunch in Times Square. I took her to a place called Virgil’s. Virgil’s is a great barbecue place that has something for everyone on the menu. It has several specially made sauces and all of them are delicious. After stuffing our faces we decided to take in some culture.My fiancee is a huge history buff so I assumed she would enjoy a trip to The Natural History Museum. I was right. She loved taking pictures near the dinosaurs and at the time there was an exhibit on fashion through the ages. She was elated and it was the perfect way to finish a day in New York. Winter in the city can be very cold . It is best to balance the day with indoor and outdoor activities, this way you are not overwhelmed by the cold. Even choosing to take a tour of the city on a tour bus will provide you with a ton of fun and interesting things to do.
