The ringing in of a new year initially brings mother nature’s more fickle and moody side to the surface, yet even with cold temps and possible snow and rain, it’s hard to deny the beauty of New York City in January.
The city is a bit sleeper; the pace, a gear slower; and the mood, reflective. Best of all for travelers, there are deals to be had in restaurants and hotels all over town.
Here are shots taken January 1 – 8 in the Big Apple.
Old and new, big and small, co-mingle on Lower East Side.A line at Katz’s Deli? Count on it. And, it’s always worth the wait.Late night laughs at Flatiron haunt, Old Town.Everyone else was going to the top. I like the view of Freedom Tower from the ground up.My answer for a cold, dreary day? Plenty of vino at Balthazar.At East Village Thrift Store, there’s always treasure to be found.Out on the town in NYC, the glass is always full.You just can’t get more festive than Pete’s Tavern in Gramercy during the holidays – or anytime, really.
