10 Ways to Have the Best Holiday Season Ever in New York City

Although all rinks are known to draw rather large crowds, the one at Rockefeller Center is notorious for staying packed. So if this experience is on your holiday bucket list, I highly recommend arriving as early as possible.

My husband and I arrived at 8:00 a.m. on a weekday morning with hopes of being some of the first people in line since the rink doesn't open until 8:30 a.m, yet we turned the corner and found faces already anxiously waiting. So, yes, the earlier you can arrive, the better!
