| As most of you are aware, there are a myriad of treats during the holidays in Manhattan. Here’s some of my favorites including some free ones: Rockefeller Center Ice Rink and Rock Center Café. Bring the whole family to skate and then dine at Rock Center Café right in view of the 94-foot Norway spruce from Oneonta (www.therinkatrockcenter.com). The Café is New York’s American Grill bringing chef-driven cuisine at breakfast, lunch, dinner, and brunch. Wollman Ice Skating Rink. This is my absolute favorite as there’s ample room for skating and the views of Central Park are breathtaking especially if there’s snow on the ground. For information about skating, the Central Park Horse & Carriage Ride, or New York Holiday Lights & Movie Sites Bus Tour visit www.getyourguide.com. On Broadway.
