The most famous ice-skating rink in the world officially opens this week in New York City’s Rockefeller Center. The opening ceremony featured performances by the first Americans to ever win gold for Olympic Ice Dancing, Meryl Davis and Charlie White, as well as young skaters from the Ice Theatre of New York and Figure Skating in Harlem.
The Rink at Rockefeller Center was built in 1936, and by hosting more than a quarter million skaters every year, it has become a much-loved fixture of winter in New York City. This year’s programs include Breakfast with Santa, Radio City Christmas Spectacular, Engagement on Ice and First Skate, in addition to the new late-night Starlight Skate.
The Rink is open daily for 90-minute sessions starting at 8:30 a.m. and ending at midnight. There are usually very long lines, so coming early in the morning is recommended for general admission. If you don’t want to wait, reservations can be made here.
Skaters can bring their own pair, but speed skates are not allowed, and there are figure skates for rent as well. For those new to skating, lessons can be arranged for $50, while veterans can purchase a season pass for $275.

May 23, 2025Relax, Rejuvenate and Heal at StolenTime
At the namesake luxury, 5-star all-inclusive resort in Saint Lucia, the concept of “stolen time” used to be reserved for couples escaping to canoodle, reconnect and perhaps rekindle in sumptuous accommodations during a romantic getaway on the lush Caribbean island. But when StolenTime by Rendezvous rebranded in late 2022 to welcome all adult guests and focus more on wellness, the philosophy expanded to encompass self-reflection, personal growth and enrichment. After all, time is our most precious commodity, one that’s finite and too quickly slips through our grasp; we need to find those moments that matter and make them count.
