Let it snow, let it snow, let it... ok, ok, enough! Stop snowing already!

As you may have heard, we had a blizzard here in the Big Apple.  The tourists don't seem to mind at all!  So you may be wondering, what to do in NYC if you happen to be here during snow time. So here's a few ideas that I had over the past few days:

#1. Try to get out of your apartment so you can commute three times as long as usual to be one of four people in your office.

view out the front door

# 2. When you are leaving the office after sitting all day in wet boots, stroll by and see the massive snow banks in Times Square while you are trying to find a subway entrance (that is actually still open)

look, you can stand with your friends in the middle of the street!

# 3. Take pictures of your kids in the massive snow banks in Times Square. Or in my case, take pictures of other people taking pictures of their kids on the massive snow banks in Times Square.

# 4. Go home to your local and drink a bunch of hot toddys ...or what the heck, hang your wet mittens by the radiator and make one yourself at home!  Here's how: Get a glass mug.  Coat the bottom with honey or sugar.  Pour three fingers of whisky (I like Irish whisky but bourbon works too). Add the same amount of hot water.  Squeeze 1/4 lemon into the glass and stir.  Add a slice of lemon studded with cloves and you are good to go!  Some people like a cinnamon stick as a stir, like this:

You can't go wrong with a good hot toddy on a cold day. 

Hopefully wherever you are this week, you are warm and dry.  But if you DO end up in the Big (frozen) Apple, drop us a line.  We can always be coaxed out for a good central park snowball fight with the promise of hot whisky after.
