A Winter’s Day in NYC

There’s nothing more magical than New York City blanketed in a fresh layer of snow. Grab ahold of the final weeks of winter in the city, where it’s easy to get around and stay socially distanced among an array of outdoor activities. Book a Date Night escape at a Club Quarters property in your favorite Manhattan neighborhood, and after a day of adventure you can warm up and wind down in your spacious hotel room.

Wollman Rink is a Central Park icon that has welcomed generations of skaters to glide, spin and twirl against the backdrop of the beautiful Manhattan skyline. With new guidelines to ensure skaters and spectators remain safe, public skating sessions are open daily. (Cash only for timed tickets)

From historic rail to elevated trail, the High Line is an authentic NYC treasure. Winter flowers explode with color while bare trees make it easy to spot chickadees and cardinals alighting on branches. Look for sculptural displays and other open-air art along this 1.45-mile-long public park.

Speaking of al fresco art, there’s a new sculpture gazing upward at 30 Rock. The 10-foot-tall stainless steel figure, aptly named “Looking Up,” was created by American artist Tom Friedman. Made from crushed aluminum pans, this exaggerated figure has appeared in Austin and in the artist’s hometown of St. Louis, and will remain in Rockefeller Center through March 19.

Though the Vessel is currently closed to climbers, it’s still worth visiting Hudson Yards to see this enormous landmark rising into the New York sky. The pedestrian-friendly zone is an easy place to stroll, inviting you to taste light-as-air macarons at Ladurée, pick up sustainably sourced coffee at Blue Bottle or grab a seat inside modern restaurants that recently reopened their doors. 

After a day of winter wandering in Manhattan, relax in the convenience and comfort of your Club Quarters stay. Look forward to quiet, spacious accommodations and contactless dining delivery from citywide restaurants, and plan your New York City getaway with ease.
