The Blizzard of 2015, the blizzard that didn’t quite end up being a blizzard in NYC. We only ended up getting a little over 6 inches and while it’s certainly a decent amount of snow, it’s not quite the 1-2 ft they were forecasting.

We did what we were told as good little New Yorkers and stocked up on some of the essentials..

One of the more exciting parts about the storm was packing this little fur ball across the city. I’m cat-sitting for my friend and I didn’t want to leave the kitty alone soooo we went for a little ride on transit before they shut it down!

Even though I’m kind of bummed we didn’t get as much snow as planned… We all made it out safe, warm and stocked up on some snacks. I’m totally still going to build a snowman on my balcony today too!

1. I absolutely loved this post I read on The Things I Learned From this week, "From living in NYC for 3 Years". It’s always so interesting to hear about how people ended up in the city to me, and while I wasn’t living at home at the time, I can surely relate to some of the things Jen mentions in this post.
2. I’ve been working with a client that just opened a restaurant in Union Square called Darrow’s that I’m really excited about. The restaurant is focused on providing healthy, delicious and locally sourced foods around the theme of farm fresh takeout. It’s a really beautiful space and offers a dining area, juice and smoothie bar, market, and a bar — so not just the typical restaurant scene. I have to say, the menu is really awesome too! 
3. Can everyone take a break for a second and relive what was Sunday’s Seahawks game? Actually, I’m not sure I want to repeat almost experiencing heart failure.. man was that insane! To celebrate the Hawks heading to the Super Bowl again, I wanted to share this cool company that I found out about this week. Two things I love are football and helping others and glassybaby is doing a little bit of both with their blue friday and we are 12 limited edition colors. Last year they were able to raise $58k for the Seahawks Women’s Association from a portion of the proceeds and they’re going in for a rePete (love this pun) this year! Check them out, they’re really pretty!
4. Some potentially awesome (yet far in the future) news came into conversation this week. Governor Cuomo announced plans for a AirTrain to connect the 7 train line to LaGuardia Airport. I’m pretty excited about this news because the only public transportation to LaGuardia is a bus that picks up in Harlem and let’s just say I stick to cabs when I’m flying to and from there currently.
5. Pope Francis is officially coming to town in the Fall. I’m Catholic, but regardless of your beliefs, I’m sure others still think it’s kind of cool he’s coming to the city. There aren’t any services confirmed yet but rumor has it there might be a mass at Madison Square Garden, now that would be a seriously huge mass.

This gem popped up on my Pandora, and I’ve been loving on it the last few weeks.
