Cheap Skate!!!

Ok, so ice skating is one of my favorite past times. I really enjoy this cold weather sport and NYC is the BEST place to do it. Sometimes ice skating can get a little expensive so I've listed all the spots in the city priced lowest to highest. Get out there and have fun in the cold!

OR you could make a date from the personals and ask to be taken ice skating and you could laugh when he fell down. That's how it happens in films!
