8 Places To Go On A Rainy Day In NYC

Rainy days in New York continue to leave us with, well… just Neflix (which I’m not complaining about.) This is because we mostly walk everywhere and it's nearly impossible to spend time outside when it’s raining. However, here are a few things to do if you ever feel like giving "Grey’s Anatomy" a rest on a rainy day:

1. Paris Café

One of my favorite little restaurant and bar's in the Financial District is Paris Café, where you get to feel like you’ve escaped NYC for a bit. And with impeccable views of the East River, you can enjoy a meal by the water while being sheltered from the rain!

2. Joe & the Juice

One of my favorite things to do when the weather is a drag in New York is to bring a friend (or just my laptop) and sit in a coffee shop. You can meet the most beautiful people in coffee shops and just truly relax and enjoy yourself. This light and fun atmosphere leaves you with so many options. You can get a fresh squeezed juice, smoothie, or amazing coffee and espresso. They even have a photobooth that will leave you and your friends entertained for hours!

3. The MET or MoMa

Explore a Museum. New York has so many amazing museums to spend the day in. The MET is definitely my favorite, and the more time I spend there, the more I love it. Another great museum is the MoMA, which also has great food, too!

4. Battery Park Regal Cinemas

New York has various movie theatres and also little theatres that show independent films. My go-to movie theatre is Battery Park Regal Cinemas right on the Hudson River. There is so much offered by a movie theatre on a rainy day!

5. Broadway!

I never regret dropping the money for some good entertainment. TodayTix is a great app for finding cheap show tickets.

6. New York Public Library

This may sound nerdy, but the New York Public Library is a great place to go when you just want to grab a book and relax, but also do something super New York-y. It is beautiful and easy to appreciate the architecture and you almost feel like you are getting away for a little bit.

7. Chelsea Galleries

There are so many art galleries in Chelsea that you can just walk into and get some inspiration on a rainy day.

8. Izakaya MEW Happy Hour!

New York never fails to provide us with an abundance of happy hour options in any neighborhood. For sushi lovers, this basement midtown sushi restaurant, Izakaya MEW, has happy hour from 6-8:00 p.m. every day. Perfect for a rainy day when there’s nothing better to do!

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
