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!
