Attention Cheapskates! Info on Ice Skating in New York City!

Ice skating is probably one of the coolest (literally) and most fun things one can do in the City. It's a great way to get out and enjoy this cold weather and NYC is one of the best places to go ice skating. Sometimes this sport 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!
