Les incontournables de la Saint-Valentin à New York

Get out your ice skates or rent them at Rockefeller Center. The rink is iconic. While it’s a hot spot for ice skating during the holidays, the crowds die down after the beginning of January, so Valentine’s Day is the perfect time to get tickets. There may be a nip in the air in February, but you can glide on the ice hand in hand with your partner either by day or under the New York night sky with the watchful eye of the golden Prometheus over you. It’s a great opportunity to snuggle up a little too.

Baby, it’s cold outside, but nothing compares to riding up to the top of the Empire State Building. If you’ve never been to the top of the “World’s Most Famous Building,” now is the perfect chance for you and your Valentine’s date.  Check out the observatories and exhibits before you journey to the top to steal a kiss from your loved one. Reservations are required.

Whether you’re a New Yorker or just visiting, tour the Grand Central Terminal. This place is New York, and you’ll learn all about its history, architecture, and how it was saved by none other than Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and eventually deemed a landmark. Your English-speaking tour guide has many secrets to unveil about this truly historical and magical gem of New York, plus you and your Valentine can ask questions to find out more.
