Bryant Park in the winter time never gets old! Before the snow storm hit we ventured out and walked around and ate at our favorite spot Wafels and Dinges. We didn't get to go ice skating because of time and in all honesty Noah gets a bit nervous when there is too many people. It wasn't too too crowded but Noah isn't the best skater and so he prefers roller skates over ice skates but he does love an outdoor rink better than an indoor one. We still managed to enjoy ourselves and man do we love the city! Here are a few pics from that day. I think my favorite capture is the frozen fountain. It has been cold enough for it to freeze. So cool looking!
Although we don't live in New York I was curious to see how the city has been doing, so for the past month we've been venturing out to see how empty it has been with everyone sheltering in place. And it was surreal. So surreal to see this epic city on pause. To see some of my favorite spots shut down. To not have people hustling and brushing next to me on the sidewalk. I felt so much sorrow and my heart was hurting for this city that has once been known to never sleep. I even documented its emptiness on my TikTok. Yes, I caved and I blame it on the pandemic for having created one!
Although I love my "me" time during the week while everyone is gone I do look forward to the weekends. Sometimes on a Sunday we will go for a drive to the city and walk around, and because the weather was sooooo dreamy yesterday decided to venture out. The weather was so crazy last week with 14 degree temps that felt like -25! We took advantage of the 49 degree temps yesterday, and just played outside. We love the city, and heard about frost fest going on at Bryant Park so we decided to check it out (on it's last day.)
