Although it's usually very crowded and it's not as nice as the Rockafellar center skating experience, Wollman's does have it's perks. Wollman's rink is one of the less expensive ice-skating rinks in the city. It's outdoors, unlike Chelsea's Sky rink, which is always a plus in my book. Plus, I used to come here all the time when I was younger, so this place brings back memories. A long, long time ago, Wollman's was a roller-skating rink in the summer months, and I really liked that. It's a shame they don't rent roller skates anymore. I wonder where one can go to get some decent rollerskating (not blading) in while in New York.
