Springtime!

You know the scene in The Wizard of Oz when all of the munchkins start to appear after Glinda announces that the Wicked Witch has been killed? I feel like that’s kind of how New York is at the moment, except replace Glinda with a meteorologist and the Wicked Witch with the winter weather. Now that spring has arrived, it's amazing how much more alive New York feels. Instead of just scurrying from place to place with their heads down to avoid the cold (and we didn't even have a bad winter) people are actually enjoying their time outside. Restaurants with outdoor seating are crowded, rooftop bars are opening back up, and parks are bustling all day long. I know lately I have definitely been more inclined to explore new places and make more plans to see friends. As a result my wallet is taking a bit of a hit, but it’s definitely worth it to make the most of the experience of being in the city in the spring.
