Oh, do we love the East Village
in the snow. Maybe we’re biased,
because to us the East Village is
drenched in loving associations.
To us, the East Village, with all its
eclectic weirdness and fun party
people, is the prettiest place in the
city even without snow.
Still, when they’re a coating of daz-
zling snow on the ground, ideally
coated in a thin layer of ice, it can
be downright enchanting.
The street lamps are blazing, all
the best restaurants are empty and
open for business, and bars are so
abandoned it feels like a magical
apocalyptic wasteland. So, yeah,
the East Village is pretty when it
snows.
5. Prospect Park
We’re pretty sure Prospect Park
is mostly beautiful in the snow be-
cause of all the frolicking puppies
and playing children we’re predict-
ing will flock there.
Really, we mean it, the air will
be exploding with kids’ laughter
and dogs’ barks of delight as they
chase each other around through
the snow.
Prospect Park is a sledding haven,
and it’s also just a natural haven in
general, replete with 526 miles of
lakes, trees, grass, and wildlife.
Also, there’s free hot chocolate
in Prospect Park’s Picnic House
when it snows, #JustSaying.
6. East River Park
Yes, East River Park is 57 miles
of riverfront property, a rare phe-
nomenon in this trillion dollar city
The city had a choice when setting
aside the land for East River Park.
They either could have sold that
land to developers for millions,
or they could have set it aside as
municipal land.
So, they set it aside as municipal
land. Go NYC!
We’re all about those bridge views,
and we do mean bridge views: this
park has a view of both the Brook-
lyn and Manhattan bridges, plus all
the trees and plantlife that thrive in
the park. It’s a pretty great place to
experience snowy views.
7. Your bedroom window
Did you hear it’s supposed to snow this weekend?
Oh, you didn’t? Well let us enlighten you.
Let’s face it. You probably won’t
want to leave your apartment
much once snow’s coated the
ground on Saturday (hopefully).
Cue Netflix and stare at the snow
falling quietly out your window.
Cue that charmed, spellbound feel-
ing that surges through you when
you stare into the quiet, blanketed
city.
Cue a lot of drinking, and probably
a text to the person you’ve been
hooking up with. We hope that
person lives close, so they’ll come
over and experience the snowy
views from your bedroom window
with you.
8. Gantry Plaza State Park
We absolutely have to shout out
Gantry Plaza State Park for stun-
ning snowy views.
The views at Gantry Plaza State
Park are snowcredible! First of all,
it’s got that famous neon Pep-
si-Cola sign everyone talks about,
and seeing that sign sparkled with
snow is pretty special.
Second of all, the river and bridge
views are to die for. Third of all,
Gantry Plaza State Park has the
most stunning view of the Manhat-
tan skyline you can gaze at any-
where.
