OLD NEW YORK WINTER

I am fascinated with Old New York, in the winter it looked brilliant, despite the griminess underneath. This is just a little ode to that and hopefully we can think cool thoughts when it's hot. Song-Love is Blue, by Paul Muriat.

I was born at Flushing General Hospital in August of 1943. The first memories I have of snow was in the winter of 1947, when the snow fell so hard it went over the top of my Dad's Chevy parked at the curb. I will never forget that! Thank you so much for these memories!

Wow, it's been a long time since we had snow like that! Thanks for sharing your memories. :)

If one had ten million dollars, what would be a good thing to do in New York during winter; compared with staying in Hawaii or Goa or Sydney, for the duration thereof.

.

Any suggestions?

Cheers.

Hi, Good question. Winter is a big tourist season. I would definitely go ice skating at Rockefeller Center and get out of the cold and catch some good Broadway shows. If it was a snowy day, I would walk across the Brooklyn Bridge, that's free! Or go up to the top of the empire state building. I would go shopping! I love being out in the cold it wouldn't bother me to go to fancy stores along park avenue. Go to the Met and stroll through central park admiring the snow on the foliage and icicles.

NYC is truly the greatest city in the world. I've traveled all around the USA and I've seen great world capitols and nothing compares to NYC, especially around Christmas! It's unbelievably beautiful, wonderful, exciting, the sites, the Christmas decorations in the store windows, the Christmas caroling, the smell of roasting chestnuts from a street vendor on a cold winter day. Ah, its just so incredible!

@lechelers my father was from New York City.... he participated in the Dutch food drops, last week of the war.... New York rarely freezes like that any more..though it did in last two winters..

@MarioOhlert Besides head for Miami??? Seriously, we just had the worst (2010-2011) in my 47-year old NYC memory.... But, there is always Rockefeller Center and the Christmas Tree, Central Park and many warm bars
