Lots and lots of snow

Like a lot of the of midwest and northeast of the country, we got a huge snowstorm recently. It's the first big snow we have had since we moved to NYC. I find it kind of interesting because (as long as you don't have a car) it doesn't disrupt life as much as it did when living in Ohio.

Since the subway is underground and you have multiple grocery stores a block or two away it's pretty dang easy to get around and do whatever you need! That being said I do feel pretty bad for all the car owners here, some of their cars are still buried!

I snapped this great photo of downtown Brooklyn and Manhattan recently when flying back from Ohio.

All Out

One of the cool things we did recently was go see the broadway play "All Out". It had a great cast of celebrities Jen and I love. It was really funny and the 3rd broadway play we have seen since moving here.

Pete's Tavern

We ate at this really cool pub before the show called Pete's Tavern. The building that houses Pete's was built in 1829. So old! During prohibition, when selling alcohol was illegal, the bar continued to operate disguised as a flower shop.

Check out the wiki page for more cool details.

Lots of people showed up for the snowball fight, but the snow didn't pack well so it kind of sucked.

It was actually kind of cool being able to walk in the streets because there were no cars.

I took this picture at midnight the night after the snow. It was so bright outside it was freaky. I don't think i've ever seen that happen before, it was almost like daylight.
