1. New Years eve party
Takes place in Time Square. Every year, thousands upon thousands of
visitors flock to Time Square and fill up the entire area to watch
the ball drop as the New Year is counted in. This New Years Eve
celebration is called New Year's Rockin' Eve and is one of the most
anticipated events in NYC all year.
2. Ice skating
Another great event in January is the ice skating available
throughout the city. Although there are many locations, the Rink at
Rockefeller Center is the coolest location set amongst the famous
Rockefeller Plaza. Some other ice skating locations include Wollman
Rink and the Sky Rink at Chelsea Piers.
3. Festival and Shows
January is a month of many musical and cultural events throughout
the city. The Jazz Festival starts on the 4th along with the Asian
Festival. These are great opportunities for tourists to experience
diverse aspects of the New York lifestyle. For those still in a
holiday mood, the Holiday Train Show lasts from January 1st to the
21st. Wave Hill is a beautiful area of botanical gardens in the
Bronx that offers free entrance days during the month of January.
4. Tourist Attraction
All of the major tourist attractions in New York City should still be visited in January. The
Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island look amazing in the snow and will even be less crowded around
this time of year. Chelsea Piers will have unique festivities such as ice-skating and other
weather-related activities.
Central Park is another must-see attraction when visiting NYC in January. The park is completely
transformed during the winter months as leaves have fallen and snow is beginning to pile up.
Central Park is truly a winter-wonderland during January. This offers tourists a great break from
the hustle and bustle of the city.
