Yesterday the news was predicting winds to start up around 5 pm.
Hasn't happened yet. I don't know if that is good news or not.
We walked around a little bit--turns out the Hell's Kitchen neighborhood is just a few blocks from Times Square (hey, I'm a west coast boy, how should I know?) and found a lovely blue-collar wine bar. Yeah, that's the kind of thing we love. We hung out there for a bit, and then returned to the hotel, probably for the duration.
We'll let you know as events progress. So far, nothing to panic over.
