Visiting NYC this weekend, 3 quick questions

Hi girls.  I'm heading to NYC on Saturday for a few days.  I used to live there, so I'm very familiar with the city.  But, I've got a few questions for you...

 1) Is there still a lot of snow on the ground?  Just wondering if I should bring my snow boots (or other waterproof shoes).  

2) I can't remember,  is everything (restaurants, stores...etc) closed on Jan 1? 

3)  Can you recommend any good places somewhat near Times Square for breakfast? 

 

Thanks!

  • There is still a lot of snow! I'd bring some sort of warm, waterproof shoe. I have no idea about the Jan 1st thing... for breakfast I love Sarabeth's. If you don't mind taking a subway ride up to Madison/87th? Not sure of the cross street. You could take the express 4 or 5 up there.

  • yes, there is still quite a bit of pileup snow on the ends of sidewalks, etc., from plowing and shoveling.  I'd wear a good waterproof shoe as well.   The temperatures are due to warm up towards the weekend so hopefully some of it will melt away.   I believe most retailers would be open Jan. 1st.  I could never find a place to eat in Times Square!  Can't help there!
  • there is another sarabeths closer to times square - central park west between 5 and 6th i believe.  it gets crowded though!

    LOL...I try to keep my time in Times Square minimal so I don't blame you there.  Our hotel was way cheaper than others not in Times Square, so I had to book it.  But, I'm pretty familiar with the city and subway.  So, if you have suggestions elsewhere, please share :)

  • What about finding a restaurant on 9th ave in Hells Kitchen - very close to Times Sq., but not uber touristy. Eatery and 44&X (on 10th ave) are good options. And definitely bring warm waterproof shoes - if there isn't a ton of snow it will still be slushy and wet. (think intersections with mini ponds of slush/water).
