Seaport Ice Finally Open

Word spread fast to downtown families about the ice skating rink at the South Street Seaport finally opening up. When we went on Sunday afternoon, it was already comfortably crowded. The rink is fairly small, and the pavilion is not as nice as the one at Bryant Park, but with a predominantly downtown family crowd and no speeding teenagers, it was a great place for kids to ice skate.

I think this will be a nice new activity for amenity-starved downtown families. One family I talked to had already been twice this weekend. There was no line to enter this weekend, but once Bryant Park closes for the season (January 25) and the word spreads about this new ice skating rink being open, it might not be as pleasant.
