Here's what the weather looks like in the City right now.

Now in its second year at Snug Harbor Cultural Center and Botanical Garden, the 2019 NYC Winter Lantern Festival is an impressive attraction for tourists and locals alike that honors a tradition going back to ancient China. Over 30 large-scale installations have been created, each filled with stunning lanterns and arrays of lights. Get a preview of the impressive installations in this short video from the Staten Island Advance.
