New York under Heavy Snow

02/04/2021

February 2021 is here, and it brings along one of the biggest storms to affect NYC in years. The city finally seems to fall asleep under a white blanket.

The New York that we all have in mind is the city that never sleeps, noisy, hectic but also romantic with its sunrises and sunsets, with a thousand lights, with many gardens and small neighborhood bodegas ... a potpourri of images.

What Covid-19 left us at the end of 2020 is an NYC that tenaciously, as only she can do, after closures and abandonments, raises its head and manages to reinvent itself. An NYC that found new ways to reopen its restaurants & cafes so friends and family can enjoy lunches and dinners together (safely) inside igloo bubbles and huts placed along the streets. Street partially closed to traffic to allow New Yorkers to roam the city more freely ... New Yorkers who can't wait to get back to their old habits. And it is New Yorkers who are indeed re-discovering and falling in love with a different New York -- a more intimate and increasingly human-sized city.

And we arrive to today -- February 2nd, 2021, and a magnificent snowstorm. If you love snow, it is impossible to remain in the house and what Irene was able to capture during her walk is a surreal New York, sweet and poignant in some moments.

You start walking on Broadway, you find yourself in the theater district, lots of colored billboards, snow falling, tables and chairs buried in snow along the way ... enjoy the show.
