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. I also find that being a New Yorker comes with its share of responsibilities, one of which is to show those living in small towns that there is more to do in our city during the cold season than just going to the movies. Not to worry my fellow homebodies, I’ve got just the activities that will get you outside; even when it feels like it is too cold for comfort.

Central Park during the Fall! So pretty!
It’s that time of year again and you either love it or you hate it. The start of September means a lot of different things for different people. It could be the inevitable end of a great Summer, the anticipated arrival of a calm Fall, or the stress or excitement of going back to school or work. Whatever it is, we’re all going through it and there’s no need to be glum about it!
Yup, the degrees are steadily decreasing and what was once a cool Summer breeze is starting to feel a little biting. But before we start muttering curses against Winter, let’s take some time to appreciate Fall: the season of cosy comforts and warm colors. Though the weather isn’t something to rejoice about, Autumn fashion sure is! Continue reading
