  • Welcome to 'Things to do in New York City' on this chilly Saturday, January 18, 2025 As you step out into the city, you'll notice the air quality is moderate today, so it's a good idea to bundle up but still enjoy the fresh air[2].

    The city is buzzing with energy, and there's no shortage of exciting events to dive into. Here are a few highlights for today:

    - If you're a fan of ice skating, make sure to hit one of the many ice skating rinks scattered around the city. It's a classic New York winter experience[1].
    - For families, "Disney On Ice: Frozen & Encanto" is a must-see at the theatre, with multiple showtimes available today[1].
    - Sports enthusiasts can catch the New York Islanders taking on the Philadelphia Flyers in an ice hockey match at UBS Arena, starting at 7:30 PM[1].
    - For a unique nightlife experience, consider the Speakeasy Tour, which takes you through hidden bars that transformed New York City's nightlife during the Prohibition Era[1].

    In local news, Governor Hochul has declared January as Stalking Awareness Month, and today, January 18th, is recognized as the Stalking Awareness Day of Action. State landmarks will be illuminated yellow in honor of those impacted by stalking and gender-based violence[3].

    If you're looking for something to do today, here are a few must-do activities: Start your day with a stroll along the High Line, which offers stunning views of the city and leads you to Chelsea Market, a food lover's paradise. Don't miss the opportunity to explore Little Island, a public park on the Hudson River waterfront known for its historical significance and artistic programming[4][5].

    For a local tip, if you're navigating the city, remember that exiting the High Line at 17th Street and walking to Chelsea Market is a great way to discover local artisans and designers at Artists & Fleas, as well as enjoy some Asian and Asian-inspired goods at Pearl River Mart[4].

    As the day winds down, consider grabbing tickets to a Broadway show or enjoying the nightlife in one of the many vibrant neighborhoods like Greenwich Village or the Lower East Side.

    Looking forward to tomorrow? Be sure to tune in for more updates, as the city prepares for a dangerous winter storm system that will bring lake effect snow and cold temperatures statewide next week. Until then, stay warm and keep exploring the endless wonders of New York City
