Last chance winter bucket list
Why grumble about the weather when you could be having fun at these winter-only NYC events?
Yes! We know it's freezing cold and by now you can name a thousand different types of snow, you've seen so damn much of the stuff. But while it might be tempting to kvetch about the city in February, guess what? Winter in NYC is awesome. Really, we mean it. Aside from the unparalleled opportunities for wearing fantastic knitwear and snuggling that the season boasts, Gotham is bursting at the seams with unique and wonderful winter events. But guess what else? Some of the best things to do in winter in New York are about to wind up, for a whole 'nother year! Here's our pick of the best, so catch 'em while you can.
RECOMMENDED: Full guide to things to do in the winter in NYC
Bryant Park Rink
The massively popular winter wonderland that is the Winter Village at Bryant Park closes at the end of February—so you really will have to put on your skates to take a spin around the rink. Ends Mar 1
The Rink at Rockefeller Center
Lazy ice-skating fans, panic not: The iconic Rock Center ice rink stays frozen for your skating pleasure all the way through April. If you haven't hit the rink by then, you probably never will. Ends Apr 21
Nitehawk Cinema's hot cider
Few things in the film world are really seasonal (especially during winter, when we don't have outdoor screenings), but spring will spell the end of the hot apple cider at Nitehawk! Every movie is improved by having some warm booze in your bloodstream. End date TBD, but get there soon!
The Lodge at the McKittrick Hotel
"Madame Cézanne" at MoMA
If you're sick of the endless gray of the city in winter, let your eyes feast on color at "Madame Cézanne," the MoMA smash that features lesser-known Postimpressionistic paintings of the artist Paul Cézanne's wife. Ends Mar 15
Bone broth at Gotham West Market
Before the temperature starts rising, jump on the bone-broth bandwagon and warm up with a steaming cup of organic chicken stock from Brodo or pho-beef broth from Indie Fresh. End date TBD, but get there soon!
Curling at Prospect Park
Lovers of Old World esoteric winter sports, rejoice! Curling classes in Prospect Park go through to the end of March. Impress your fellow curling enthusiasts with your knowledge that curling is known as "chess on ice." Ends Mar 25
Fancy feasts at Bowery Meat Company
We're in the last gasps of giant-sweater weather, which means you only have a few more weeks to feast on jazzed-up lasagna like Bowery Meat Company's duck-and-caciocavallo version before you have to start working on your bikini bod.

Last-chance Broadway shows
See the Broadway shows closing before the spring deluge: dishy Jake Gyllenhaal in Constellations (Mar 15); incomparable Idina Menzel in If/Then (Mar 22); and the slinky Alan Cumming in Cabaret (Mar 29). Don’t wait till the final weekend!
Merlin James at Sikkema Jenkins & Co.
Winter got you feeling pensive and elegant? Take a nice quiet trip to Chelsea to see the closing days of "Genre Paintings," the latest show from acclaimed Welsh painter Merlin James. Ends Mar 7

Snowbus special service
Did you know that the same guys who do the beach bus in the summer operate a special winter service, too? The NYC snowbus to area ski resorts runs through March. (And there’s also a gay version, Ski Bums…) Ends Mar 28
Leviathan at Film Forum
Cozy up in Film Forum for the chilly Russian drama Leviathan, which simply won't work half as well after spring has sprung.
