A New York Tradition
The ice rink at Rockefeller Center had high end shops and was known as the Sunken Plaza. In 1936 a temporary ice rink was built to encourage people to patronize the shops. The footage from this Universal Newsreel shows ice skaters in 1937, when the rink became a permanent holiday tradition.
