Is it Summer Yet? A New Yorker's Cry for Warmth
New York City, the concrete jungle where dreams are made (and apparently, winters too). It's that time of year again when the city that never sleeps is starting to resemble Siberia with slightly better public transport. I know, I know, we're tough New Yorkers, we can handle anything. But come on, can we please fast forward to shorts and tank tops?
The Eternal Question: When Will it Be Warm Again?
This is the question that echoes through every New York apartment, office, and bar as soon as the first snowflake dares to grace our city. We’ve consulted our resident groundhog (a particularly grumpy one who seems to enjoy our misery), and while he refused to comment, we did manage to extract a mumbled "soon." So, that's something, right?
Signs You've Been in NYC Winter Too Long

- Embrace indoor activities. Think museums, cozy cafes, and binge-watching.
- Find a warm friend to cuddle with. Or a really good heating pad.
