Inez Rebb notes Rockefeller Center’s ice pond blends wholesome outdoor sport with romance as New Yorkers of all ages crowd the rink from 10:30 a.m. to 11 p.m. to skate, date, and enjoy the social scene. Noting famous skaters and a mix of staff, tourists, and afternoon loungers, the piece frames the rink as a city dating venue aided by John D. Rockefeller Jr. and the scene's lively cast.
