DOWNTOWN SPRING SIGNS

Weather aside, New York has a certain way of greeting Spring. It isn't through blooming flowers or consistent 70 degree weather. There are signs  throughout the city that signify the change and the looming weather that is bound to happen.

OUTDOOR BARS
When bars start opening their windows for fresh air and begin placing chairs outside for business, you know the seasons are 'achanging. Us New Yorkers get tired of being trapped indoors for the past 7 months, so even a gust of 55 degree weather has us aching for an outdoor experiene. Don't let the outdoor heaters fool you, it really is a nice night for sipping cocktails on the sidewalk. As long as we are not freezing, an outdoor bar is evident of warm things to come:)

GUCCI LOAFERS
This might sounds a bit silly, but when the loafers come out, the weather is turning for the better. Gucci loafers made a huge comeback a couple years ago when bloggers everywhere turned up in their Instagrams wearing the famous Princetown mule. Now New York gals about town are wearing them for strolls from West Broadway to the West Side Highway. When you start to feel an influx of the loafers, start thinking warmer days.

MENU CHANGES
In New York City chefs like to take advantage of local fare and farm to table options for their next special dish. So it is no surprise that resturants throughout the city begin to flip their menus from cold weather specials to warm weather ingrideint rich platters. One of the many splendors of living in New York is the endless choice of food options, and I especially love knowing that when the weather changes, so does our palettes along with the menu.
