It’s getting cold outside on the Battery near 1 World Trade
As a native New Yorker, I have experienced my fair share of seasons in this fantastic city of ours. Admittedly, I do resist change, especially when out of nowhere, the blistering heat is over ridden by insufferably gelid conditions. However, the game changer for this temperature change are the many activities that are available in the city during the seasons where I don’t necessarily want to be out and about! Although it is becoming colder, that never stops a true New Yorker from seeking an adventure.
