STORYLINE:
Hundreds gathered in New York City Wednesday to ice skate at a rink inside one of the city’s most iconic parks.

New York resident Tina Goody took her grandchildren to Bryant Park’s 17,000 square foot ice skating rink to celebrate Christmas. She used to take her children to Central Park around Christmas, but since they live near Byrant Park now, it’s become a new tradition.

“It’s just Christmasy,” she said, “this is what you do at Christmas time with your children. It’s such a joy for all of us.”

Twelve-year-old Emma Oleary is visiting New York with her family for the holidays. The Ireland native said skating at the park made her feel “magical.”

“This place makes me feel like I’m really in like a Christmas movie type of thing and it’s really magical to be here because I’ve seen all these type of movies,” she said.
