With NYC reaching record-breaking cold temperatures this winter, and the fountain in Bryant Park literally freezing over, New Yorkers may find themselves wondering how it’s possible to even go outside – there’s nothing more I want in this weather than to wrap myself up in a warm blanket with some hot chocolate in my room and magically fast forward to May. A more practical solution, however, would be to combat this New York winter with some cold-front essentials- items that will keep you toasty, while still looking fashionable!
