Bundle Up

Layer up with a sweatshirt or sweater under your coat. It can make all the difference when the New York wind starts to blow.

Wear Warm Socks and Boots

Drink Hot Beverages

Nothing feels better than a hot beverage on a cold day. Whether it's coffee, tea, or hot cocoa, a steaming mug can warm you up from the inside out. Don't forget the many New York coffee shops and cafes that offer seasonal drinks like peppermint mochas and gingerbread lattes.

Make Use of Heat Sources

If your house isn't the warmest during the winter months, use other heat sources to stay toasty. Get yourself a space heater or snuggle up with some blankets...and a willing partner.  Have a fireplace? Light it up and enjoy the glow and cozy feel.

Stay Active
