NYC Is Calling Your Name This Winter for These Five Reasons Alone

Whether it snows or shines, the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree is a sight to see, and the annual tree lighting will make you want to move to NYC (or visit Manhattan yearly).

Visiting Broadway is a gift, tourists and New Yorkers like to receive on a year-round basis, but there’s something special about seeing a show when you’re wrapped up in winter. Shows in NYC are reason enough to make the trek, and TodayTix provides best prices for Broadway shows and beyond.

It doesn't matter if you lace up your blades at Rockefeller Center or in Central Park—ice skating outdoors during the wintertime is magical.

The days are shorter during the winter, but the lights of NYC brighten up the streets, buildings, trees, and your mood. From the holiday decorations (and, of course, the Rockefeller Christmas Tree) to the Times Square Ball, NYC is lit during the holidays and wintertime.

New York City has the potential to be busy year-round and all times of the day—because it's one of the greatest cities on the planet—but the cold temperature tends to mean few tourists. Other tourists tend to less crowded. While NYC is a place to visit every month, shorter lines is yet another perk of visiting in the winter.

There are a million and one reasons to visit NYC this winter, next winter, and every winter after that. Whether you want to catch a show, ice skate outside, or take in all the lights and a massive Christmas tree, NYC has you covered. Just remember to bring your jacket.
