Stuck in New York? Here Are Five Ways to Get Through the Long, Cold Weekend
Pretend You’re Somewhere Tropical: It’s true. It sucks that you’re forced to be in New York instead of somewhere—anywhere—else. But if you head over to Battery Harris, you’ll feel like you’re on an island that is decidedly not Long Island. Even though it might be cold outside, you should absolutely order whatever frozen drink they have on offer (if you’re lucky, it’ll be the Dark and Stormy), get some spicy Jerk Pork buns. If you close your eyes, you might be able to convince yourself that you’ve caught a whiff of coconut-scented sunscreen. Or not! But after a few frozen drinks, it won’t matter where you are or where you aren’t, just that you’re feeling pretty damned good considering you got stuck in New York for the holiday weekend. Now, go home and watch Planes, Trains, and Automobiles.
