Once the holidays are over, it’s easy to view the winter season as a bleak, frigid time to curse the weather and your daily commute. But it’s not all gray slush and missing mittens! Winter in New York City is the time to explore, away from the throngs of summer tourists and ubiquitous street fairs. It’s the time for real New Yorkers to dig deeper into our city and see what it has to offer up. In our 2013 Winter Guide, we scoured Manhattan to find the best cold-weather picks, whether it’s where to curl up with a nice spicy drink, who can fix the zipper on your down coat, or what to do with your stir-crazy kids home from school on a snow day. Lace up your boots and get out there.
