Gee. Aren't there enough DC area rinks? A couple new seasonal outdoor rinks have opened up since 2017, that I didn't know about:
1. At the roof top on the Watergate Hotel

I wouldn't be surprised if it is somewhat expensive. While the rink is relatively thin (70'x20') rink, it might have a nice view of the city and the Potomac River
2. On a Wharf on the Washington Channel off of the Potomac River and Anacostia Rivers, a little south of the Tidal Basin.

It's difficult for me to understand why DC, a fairly warm city, has so many seasonal outdoor ice rinks, and only one indoor ice rink. (Most of the area rinks are in the suburbs.)
