5 Things To Do For President’s Day In NYC
President’s Day is always marked on the February calendar, along with winter recess for most schools, and some time off sounds very lovely right about now. If there’s any opportunity to recharge, we may as well embrace the moment. And if you’re wondering what to do in your (much deserved) down time, the Woodbury Bus Blog is here with five suggestions that are sure to bring some magic into the winter season.
1. Take a Day Trip to Woodbury Common Premium Outlets For Amazing Deals:
Ride the exclusive Woodbury Bus to the outlets in Orange County, NY; there may even be some picturesque snowy views to take in along the way. Woodbury Commons offers many incredible deals for Presidents Day and beyond. Aeropostale is offering 50-70% off on their spring collection, and Yankee Candle has 75% off on special select items. There are also noteworthy sales on designer favorites that are currently trending such as 20% off jeans at Guess Factory, up to 50% off at Athleta, up to 40% off at Adidas, up to 50% off at Puma, up to 70% off at Home White Sale, and an extra 30% off at Banana Republic.
2. (Ice) Skate Your Troubles Away:
3. Stay Indoors And Explore Exhibits:
The Metropolitan Museum of Art has always been a personal favorite of mine to explore. Spend an afternoon at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, The Museum of Natural History, the Morgan Library & Museum, or any of the many exhibits the city has to offer. For those who love being nestled inside on a cold day, museums are a great way to revel in some cultural fun.
4. Warm Up with Hot Chocolate:
Lean into your sweet tooth with a cup of comforting hot chocolate from some of the best dessert spots in the city. There’s the decadent La Maison du Chocolat in Rockefeller Center and Angelina Paris Bakery in Bryant Park. (Both places could surely hit the spot right after ice skating.) The Dominique Ansel Bakery on Spring St. serves hot chocolate that will taste as beautiful as it looks, and it looks like a chocolatey marshmallow dream. It’s also hard to go wrong with the dark Valrhona chocolate used for hot cocoa at Levain Bakery; they have a few locations throughout the city, which makes for a convenient stop after another activity as well.
5. Book A Rooftop Igloo:
Secret NYC recently wrote about a NYC winter wonderland — a heated rooftop igloo with gorgeous views of the skyline. Somewhere Nowhere’s Teardrop Igloos Experience takes reservations, and they provide a bottle of champagne, fur throw blankets, velvet chairs, and a built-in fireplace. If you’re seeking an unforgettable wintry night in the city, this experience is truly one of a kind.
