Locals carry a certain badge of exclusivity, especially those who call New York City home. Now, one of the five boroughs' most iconic venues plans to reward them for their loyalty.
Rockefeller Center, also home to NBCUniversal headquarters, announced Wednesday that it will offer locals exclusive access to The Rink season passes as part of a partnership with Coach. There's also a new series of community skate nights for all debuting at the iconic ice skating venue. Those skate nights will run through March 2023.
Flipper’s Roller Boogie Palace will return in April for roller skating at The Rink.
In the meantime, here's what you have to look forward to:
