This board sucks. If someone wants information on indoor activities in NYC, why can't we just provide advice on that question and not belittle the fact that some folks prefer to stay indoors in the cold?

I've been a member of FT for a long time and in the early '00s we had so much "snark and smack" in the forums they were REALLY fun. Now the forums are managed very different and rightfully so.

I think the side comments - to a degree - are fine. I dont think anyone was condescending or intentionally mean. Every forum has a "persona" and we should embrace that difference.

I was there and I did and had the streets pretty much to myself (TriBeCa to LES to midtown).

I was and it was easier to endure than the ugly heat and humidity of the summer.

Amen to that. I always feel so bad when I get on the subway in the summer and see the suit people sweating profusely. I'm hot blooded so I feel their pain but I'm also freelance so get to walk in wearing shorts and a t shirt :P

While down there, take the subway to Queens and The Transit Museum.
