As March comes along, it's your last chance for some Winter activites
The last weekend of February is upon us, and although March is hardly going to feel like spring at first, now's your chance to get in those last-minute winter-specific events. The Bryant Park ice rink and winter village closes Sunday, so get there pronto. Rockefeller Center is at least open until April. And curling lessons in Prospect Park end March 25. You know, in case you like curling.
