Baby, it's cold outside, but there is plenty of fun to be had in New York. You can still enjoy the sights of sounds of the city without freezing yourself to death. Don't hibernate this winter season. Instead, embrace the cold weather and enjoy some of these wintertime activities.
Dreamland Roller Disco
Forget figure skating when you can go roller skating instead. You'll be much warmer. Dreamland Roller Disco is home to a 15,000 square-foot indoor roller rink located at Industry City. There's also figure skating (if you prefer), dance classes, hula hoop hour, and themed roller disco for adults and kids.
The roller rink doesn't its doors until Dec. 7 and lasts through April 7. This is the first time that Dreamland will be inside in decades. It's usually outside at Prospect Park during the hot summer months. Brave the cold weather and choose to skate indoors instead.
Hot Chocolate Festival
Grab some hot chocolate while you're out. Don't let the winter season go by without enjoying a mug of hot cocoa. Check out the Hot Chocolate Festival at the City Bakery during the month of February. This place is great for hot chocolate addicts since there's a different flavor for each day of the month.
It's a great way to have a cozy date or to meet up with family and friends. The City Bakery also has plenty of good for you to feast one. They have cupcakes, cakes, cookies, baguettes, and more. You'll find yourself spending more time here than you intended.
