New York City is Under a White Blanket

This morning, New Yorkers woke up to a layer of sparkling white covering. It has been snowing since Friday morning and through the Saturday afternoon it lightened in intensity. This was a serious blizzard, some schools were cancelled on Friday, lots of flights were cancelled, power failures were feared but now it is time to enjoy the snow.

Snow plows are working on a street in Upper West Side to clean the streets.

Because I couldn't miss the New York City under snow, after having breakfast, I took my camera and got out of home. My husband and I began to walk towards Central Park, I think snow blanketed Central Park is one of the most romantic places in New York. We began our long walking tour in Central Park from the Upper West Side. It was hard to keep going fast, because 

While snow is melting

everything under the snow looks spectacular and we couldn't keep ourselves from taking photos. People were running and skiing near Jacqueline Kennedy Reservoir, we watched them for a while and continued walking to Upper East Side.

We were tired a little bit so gave a coffee break in a cafe, then turned back to Central Park. Children were sliding down snow-covered hills, and making snowman.

Because tomorrow we are going to take a ski trip, we had to turn back home to make some preparations, so we couldn't spent much more time in Central Park. But if I had much time, I would go ice skating in Wollman Ring in Central Park. Ice skating is always fun, moreover it is more pleasant to see the snow-covered trees and skyscrapers while you are skating. After spending so much time outside we were cold and hungry, so rewarded ourselves with the banana puding of Magnolia Bakery.

This was a great day for me, I turned back home with nice photos and one of my favorite dessert. These were my must do's in a snowy day, I am sure that you will find much to do in a snowy day in New York City.

New York Beyaz Ortuye Burundu

Bu sabah New York'lular uyandiklarinda sehirlerinin beyaz bir ortuye burundugunu gorduler. Cuma gunu baslayan kar firtinasi Nemo, Cumartesi ogle saatlerinde hizini kesti. Yilin ilk siddetli kar firtinasi nedeniyle, Cuma gunu bazi okullar tatil edildi, ucuslar iptal edildi ve elektrik kesintisi endisesi yasandi ama artik Cumartesi ogle saatleri itibariyle karin tatini cikartma vakti geldi.

New York'u gezmek her mevsimde cok guzel bu yuzden kar ile kapli bir New York gunune hemen baslamak icin kahvaltimi eder etmez, fotograf makinemi alip evden ciktim. Esim ve ben bugune Central Park'a dogru yuruyerek basladik, bence kar ile kapli Central Park, New York'un en romantik yerlerinden biri. Upper West Side'dan Central Park'a giris yaptik ve harika bir manzara ile karsilastik, agaclar, banklar, kopruler karla kapli ve gunesin altinda piril pirildi. Kendimizi surekli durup fotograf cekmekten alamadigimiz icin yavas bir sekilde Jacqueline Kennedy Reservoir'a dogru ilerledik. Burada insanlar kayak yapiyor ve her zamanki gibi kosuyorlardi, burada biraz zaman gecirdikten sonra golun kenarindan yuruyerek Upper East Side'a ciktik. Bu tur yaklasik iki saat surdu, dolayisiyla soguk ve yorgunluk nedeniyle bir kahve molasi verme zamani gelmisti, Park'tan cikip kahvelerimizi aldiktan sonra, tekrar dogu tarafindan Park'a giris yaptik. Artik oglen oldugu icin ortalik iyice kalabaliklasmisti, tepelerden kayan ve kardan adam yapan cocuklari seyrettikten sonra eve donus yoluna koyulduk. Yarin kucuk bir kayak gezisine gidecegimiz icin Central Park'ta daha fazla zaman geciremedik ama biraz daha zamanim olsaydi mutlaka Wollman Ring'e buz pateni yapmaya giderdim. Wollman Ring'de kaymak her zaman eglenceli fakat cevresindeki agaclar ve gokdelenler karla kapliyken daha da zevkli olacagina eminim.

Bu kadar yuruyusten sonra artik kendimizi odullendirme vakti, ve son durak Magnolia Bakery. Buradan favori tatlilarimdan biri olan muzlu pudingimi de aldiktan sonra artik eve donuyoruz.
Karli bir New York gununde benim icin yapilmasi gereken en onemli seyler bunlardi, eminim siz bir gune daha cok sey sigdirabilirsiniz.
