Real New Yorkers know how to deal with the cold weather and harsh winter conditions; the last thing we want to hear is you complain about how chilly it is here. Grab your scarf and gloves, because we like to make the most of it and dive right into the snow!
Whether it's in front of a warm fireplace or simply under our favorite cozy blankets, we love nothing more than having an excuse to cuddle.
One of the many great nuisances of living in New York during the winter (if you don't have your own garage) is the continuous issue of having to clear the snow off of your car. If we wake up in the morning to find that you've already taken care of this tedious task for us? Well, you'll instantly have our hearts.
