Ask any New Yorker and we’ll be quick to tell you all of the reasons why we love living here and why the Empire State is so amazing.

Guiding you through New York, keep scrolling to see how many of these things you make a point of dodging!
It's always nice during months like March when we get a sneak peak at the consistent warm weather that's to come. But don't get too excited to the point where you start putting away all your warm clothes! Most of us are sadly all too familiar with the fact that we can still expect random snow showers even during April.
Unless you're out of absolute necessities, avoid the stores and stay home. Unless you're living in an area of New York where you can expect to get buried in snow and be forced to stay inside for a couple of days, pass going to your local market. Anyways, by the time you get to the store there will most like be nothing but long lines and empty shelves!
