Eric’s Tips

New York in March is often still quite wintery. Watch an ice hockey game or go ice skating on one of the many rinks. You may even get to see a white Central Park! Take the cold into account and plan indoor activities, such as a dinner cruise with great views of the city. View all events per day below.
