We hate to be the bearers of bad news, but it looks like due to unseasonably warm weather, the NYC Parks Department says it was “unable to produce snow to host Winter Jam 2023” at Central Park on February 4th. The cancellation coming even as the city is bracing for an arctic blast. You may want to take the kids ice skating instead.

Until next time, we'll be seeing you Around Town!
