Pleased very first weekend of February, marking the start of 6 more weeks of winter season … perhaps? Obviously Punxsutawney Phil thinks we have a long winter season ahead, and with our very first cleaning of snow here in New york city City behind us– and a cold wave ahead over the weekend– he simply may be right. Regardless, we have actually put together some hands on and fun-forward occasions for locals and visitors alike to check out while taking advantage of the coming freeze.

Sure, it might be more difficult to leave your bed with winter ahead, however with whatever from New age dance celebrations to queer art programs, mural-making, and customized scent experimentation, we have the inspiration for you to make the most out of your very first February weekend!
