Tonight, the city pauses for its first snowfall of the year.
Six inches are expected and, for me, that means it is the perfect night to stay in. Though I will say that I’m astonished at the temps back home and how uncomfortably low they are, people in New York are taken aback whenever I complain [...]

Anyway, let me tell you about my slanted apartment floor.
