Warmer weather, finally!

The signs of spring are popping up every day. On my way home from work this evening, I noticed how many restaurants had set-up tables for outdoor dining. From Pipa, Ora and Craft on 19th and Punch on Broadway to Benvenuto Ristorante on 23rd, the tables outside were packed with co-workers unwinding over chilled champagne and exchanging juicy office gossip. New Yorkers are in visibly cheerful spirits given the advent of warmer weather. People were talking more animatedly on their flip-phones while walking slower than usual and prolonging their time outside. The air was charged with excitement and a newborn energy waiting to be harnessed. I really loved soaking it all in.
