Traveling is all about getting out of your comfort zone, right? So even though the New York Travel Show happened to fall on the snowiest day of Manhattan’s winter, I let my Minnesota out. Not only did I make it to the Javits Center, I walked.

 (Actually I was hoping that a cab would come by. But as you can see, the city’s taxi supply is either overworked or digging out).

Unlike Washington, New York doesn’t shut down because of a snowstorm. Indeed, like all challenges, people seem to revel in it. Lots of people out and shoveling so the 30 block walk wasn’t too bad. The worst part? The slushy lakes that form at street corners.

Most people were bundled up in their chic black uniforms. Of course, there were exceptions – check out this woman’s boots!

There’s so much snow that the Javits Center had people out, shoveling the stuff off the roof.
