![]() In an effort to mind my own business, I told her my concerns but let it go. She was not concerned that it was only hip length, the sleeves weren’t long enough for her and there was no fur on the hood I however was very concerned. I moved to Oklahoma and got a taste of a real winter thanks to the harsh prairie winds but it wasn’t until I moved to Boston when I got a proper education on winter wear.Ī friend from down south moved to NYC last year and she bought herself a fancy new coat. ![]() Growing up I didn’t know the difference between a jacket and coat, thought fur trimmed hoods were purely for fashion and we generally treated all outwear like an accessory since no one walks anywhere (heated car seats for the win). Listen, I’m a Texas girl which led to a limited education on winter. If you’re looking for a professional quick look at each area, check out this nicely done list. Long Island City is a totally separate place from Long Island (so no, not like Oklahoma and Oklahoma City), Brooklyn is a neighborhood however also its own city somehow like if you live there your postal address is Brooklyn, NY and they have their own city hall? So I’ve made some charts and maps for reference if you’re looking to unscramble this bamboozling location situation. Complicating matters are the boroughs that kind of act like counties however we’re all in the same actual county… its a mess. If you’re interested, you can find a super detailed chart here.

As I mentioned, NYC is a non-stop photo opp. ![]() If you find yourself working plans around a photo spot, begging your companions to “just take a few more” then its time to recalculate. The quickest way for everyone to become irritated with you is if you keep trying to make that photo standing in front of Tiffany’s happen (or whatever). My biggest piece of advice when looking for that perfect photo is to not force it, especially if you’re here on vacation or with friends. Here are a few suggestions though, from the very broad to the very specific. Anything can be photo-worth with the right angles, backdrop and filter.
