Some random observations:
- New Yorkers complain about the cold even more than Montrealers do, or at least it seems that way.
- Fifth Avenue is pretty with all the lights.
- Stuck for a gift idea? No problem. There’s a street vendor at 73rd and Broadway selling Christmas sweaters for $2.
- Lots of tall buildings arranged perpendicularly in a grid create massive wind tunnels. Ugh.
- Most of the subway station platforms aren’t heated. The subway trains are, though.
- Winter, spring, summer or fall… it’s just as impossible to get a cab from downtown Manhattan to the airport at rush hour.
For your viewing pleasure, here’s a random snapshot of Rockefeller Center all decorated for the holidays:
