There are plenty of things to love about New York City in winter. Jauncey has his own seasonal favorites:
• Running through Central Park. Jauncey likes to go with his brother, Tom, on crisp winter days. “It is a bonus if it starts to snow,” he says.
• Eating Mexican food at Rosie's in the East Village.
• Enjoying morning tea at Tea & Sympathy in the West Village.
• Spending an afternoon viewing the street art of the Welling Court Mural Project in Astoria, Queens. Jeremy says it’s “a great way to see the work of local creatives.”
• Visiting the New York Botanical Garden in the Bronx. “It’s one of the most magnificent botanical gardens in the world,” says Jauncey, and spending time in its conservatory is “a great way to escape the cold.”
• Ice-skating at the Staten Island Skating Pavilion.
"Every photo, every video, every written piece we create tells a story that comes from deep human experiences," says Jauncey. Let the following posts from Beautiful Destinations serve as your travel inspiration as you seek out those experiences in New York City.
