Favorite place to be when it snows

This might seem an unlikely place at first, but the big windows and the generous seating area at Whole Foods (Houston & Bowery) in the upstairs area is great for snow-watching over lunchtime.

@JenMac I love to watch the snow fall from my own apartment which faces the East River though I would be interested in knowing where to get a good hot toddy! I don't usually drink red wine and am always looking for something heart warming when the weather is not conducive to chilled white/sparkling wine.

Actually, a Hot Toddy involves whiskey, not red wine.

I had one with a friend last week and afterward we both started sinking into our seats. I was nearly comatose and coudl barely drag myself home. Lesson learned: only drink hot toddies very close to where you live so you can immediately fall asleep afterward.

@Uraniumfish I meant that I dont like to drink Red wine which seems the natural choice of drink for people in the winter months.
I do know toddies and the only place that I have had one in NYC is at the Quality Meats Steak House where it was made with brandy. I think its more of a British thing...I am suddenly craving one and its only 8.40 am!!!

@uptowngirl Oh, okay, I read that one too fast.

Yeah, stay away from those Hot Toddies unless you plan an afternoon nap into your schedule.

I think anywhere you can get a good view is helpful to see snow fall. I do know that NYC didn't get as much snow as the kids would have liked to see. I went to Long Island yesterday and saw such piles of snow. They got walloped.

Never heard of a Hot Toddy before!

I'd love to see the view from the Staten Island ferry - I bet that would be gorgeous. Or the view from the top of Belvedere Castle in Central Park....

@uraniumfish guess what? I love afternoon naps as well...saturdays are my favored days for naps...havent gotten around to having a hot toddy in spite of this horrible slushy weather either...

@ajadedidealist all about hot toddies-

I wouldn't mind being at the Met when a big snow hits. At the Temple of Dendur there are giant windows that overlook the park:

What a gorgeous place! I love the Temple of Dendur in general - I used to go to fundraisers at the Met, and that room was always the basis, so I can proudly say I have eaten canapes and danced to rock music there!

I actually prefer to cosy up in my own apartment. It is really warm. And I do get to see the snow fall in the living room window.
