8 Places To Go On A Rainy Day In NYC

Rainy days in New York continue to leave us with, well… just Neflix (which I’m not complaining about.) This is because we mostly walk everywhere and it's nearly impossible to spend time outside when it’s raining. However, here are a few things to do if you ever feel like giving "Grey’s Anatomy" a rest on a rainy day:

1. Paris Café

One of my favorite little restaurant and bar's in the Financial District is Paris Café, where you get to feel like you’ve escaped NYC for a bit. And with impeccable views of the East River, you can enjoy a meal by the water while being sheltered from the rain!

2. Joe & the Juice

One of my favorite things to do when the weather is a drag in New York is to bring a friend (or just my laptop) and sit in a coffee shop. You can meet the most beautiful people in coffee shops and just truly relax and enjoy yourself. This light and fun atmosphere leaves you with so many options. You can get a fresh squeezed juice, smoothie, or amazing coffee and espresso. They even have a photobooth that will leave you and your friends entertained for hours!

3. The MET or MoMa

Explore a Museum. New York has so many amazing museums to spend the day in. The MET is definitely my favorite, and the more time I spend there, the more I love it. Another great museum is the MoMA, which also has great food, too!

4. Battery Park Regal Cinemas

New York has various movie theatres and also little theatres that show independent films. My go-to movie theatre is Battery Park Regal Cinemas right on the Hudson River. There is so much offered by a movie theatre on a rainy day!

5. Broadway!

I never regret dropping the money for some good entertainment. TodayTix is a great app for finding cheap show tickets.

6. New York Public Library

This may sound nerdy, but the New York Public Library is a great place to go when you just want to grab a book and relax, but also do something super New York-y. It is beautiful and easy to appreciate the architecture and you almost feel like you are getting away for a little bit.

7. Chelsea Galleries

There are so many art galleries in Chelsea that you can just walk into and get some inspiration on a rainy day.

8. Izakaya MEW Happy Hour!

New York never fails to provide us with an abundance of happy hour options in any neighborhood. For sushi lovers, this basement midtown sushi restaurant, Izakaya MEW, has happy hour from 6-8:00 p.m. every day. Perfect for a rainy day when there’s nothing better to do!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
