After a freezing day of walking on ice, we are now getting more snow! It all looks very beautiful, but if you've spent time in NYC after a snowstorm you know that by day two the snow will be spotted with black bits-carbon emissions? and streaked with dog urine.

So, not such a pretty time in the city.

NYC

The latest issue of New York magazine includes the annual "What we like about NYC" list. It's always a bit ethnocentric and narcissistic but fun to read.

What I like most about living here is that I can get anywhere I want to go 24/7 without having to use a car. Walked from Brooklyn to Union Square yesterday-so much fun looking at shops all dressed up for the holidays.
