Enjoyed a beautiful skate this morning at Rockefeller Rink in NYC! But there's a lot of construction and equipment in the area -- NBC is busily transforming the rink and plaza into Democracy Plaza.

Whoever did the ice work did a great job -- Last time there were pictures on the ice like this (below), you could feel every bump skating over it but this time, the ice was as smooth as...well, ice!
