Where to beat the snow-day blues?
by Etan Marciano | 2.25.10 | 9 Comments

slushSnow, yay! Or maybe nay. Today’s stuff is more like a quick-sandy slush—venture out and you know you’ll get soaked and miserable under the rodent-sized flakes. And making it down the block seems like a positively tail-bone-bruising endeavor. Yet, you refuse to go stir-crazy in your apartment all afternoon watching your umpteenth day of Olympics and cruising Chatroulette. So, time to get out there and do something, and something cheap. But what? Nurse a tasty stout by the wood-burning fireplace of a cozy bar? Sip evening tea at your favorite cafe? Spend a half-hour sweating it out on the elliptical? We want to know: Where’s your favorite spot to combat the snow (slush) day blues?

    The Chocolate Room, in Park Slope. Yummminess, warmth, and chocolate.

    I’m in the mood for Black Mountain Winehouse. Love that place.

    I like Atlas Cafe in Williamsburg for the soup of the day and the Wifi.

    Were today tomorrow, I’d give the new Cortelyou wine bar Castello Plan at try.

    As someone with very limited income, I say the library.

    If I have a little chump change, maybe treat myself to the rare Starbucks treat.

    Skint you nailed that play list! I only wish I’d seen this yesterday. It would have been perfect for my mom’s 70th b’day bash. We did dessert and drinks. Dinner is too costly, and why not cut staight to the good stuff? Next time I’ll ask you for a playlist in advance!
