The Best Cozy Winter Meals at Rockefeller Center

This February, the thrill of the Olympic Games arrives in the heart of New York City. While the world tunes in to the 2026 Winter Games in Milano Cortina, Rockefeller Center is bringing the action straight to you.

From January 30 through February 15, Rockefeller Center transforms into an Olympic hub, featuring immersive installations, fan activations, and family-friendly programming that capture the spirit of the Games (no passport required). Whether you’re cheering on Team USA, skating beneath the city lights, or exploring interactive experiences across campus, Rockefeller Center offers a front-row seat to Olympic energy all season long.

A Monument in Ice

The celebration kicks off with a showstopping debut from Ralph Lauren: a 12-foot-tall ice sculpture honoring three Team USA athletes. Created by five master ice carvers and World Ice Art Champions, this installation marks the largest ice sculpture ever presented at Rockefeller Center, and a striking tribute to athletic excellence and winter artistry.

Legendary February with NBC

NBC's Legendary February programming transforms the campus into an interactive sports arena. Olympic-themed photo moments appear throughout Rockefeller Center, offering visitors a chance to step into the spirit of the Games. From February 6–8, guests can compete at the Triple Threat Court, testing their skills across a series of Olympic-inspired challenges. It's participatory entertainment that bridges the gap between spectator and athlete, however briefly.
