The Yankees, aka Bronx Bombers, are the most storied of the city’s teams and they play out of the epic Yankee Stadium in the South Bronx. Perennially one of the MLB’s best teams, the Yankees field an all-star lineup that regularly thrills fans with high-scoring performances.

Yankee Stadium was built in 2009 to replace the original Yankee Stadium and it has all of the creature comforts one would expect from America’s richest team. Instead of popcorn vendors imagine gourmet food stands and vendors selling craft beers. Still seats can be purchased in the outfield for as little as $40.

Across town in Queens the New York Mets play out of Citi Field. Rarely as successful as their crosstown brethren, a visit to the ballpark is still a visit to the ballpark and Citi Field is a beautiful field. Tickets sell for as little as $12, which makes the Mets a more affordable option than the Yankees.

For something a little different take the Staten Island Ferry to St George to watch the Staten Island Yankees. The minor league team of the Yankees, this is where future stars and developmental prospects pay their dues before being brought up to the majors. While it doesn’t have the pizazz of a major league game, the stadium does have great views of the Manhattan skyline and tickets cost as little as $12.

It goes without saying that museums are an excellent place to spend a snow-heavy day. Uptown, on the Upper East Side, there are several world-class art museums awaiting to be explored. The Guggenheim and Whitney Museum of American Art are two good choices, but to spend an entire day in one museum visit the Metropolitan Museum of Art. This museum is so large that it usually takes several days and visits to see its entire collection and all of its exhibitions. There’s even a cafeteria inside the museum, so visitors don’t have to leave for lunch.

On the other side of the park, on the Upper West Side, the American Museum of Natural History is another interesting choice for snow-dodging visitors. Families will be especially interested, as this museum wows visitors with its huge collection of dinosaur skeletons, IMAX movies and planetarium.

The Museum of Modern Art or MOMA in Midtown is another option, as this museum is home to a huge collection of contemporary art and can easily keep the attention of visitors for several hours at least.

At night head over to the Theater District to watch a Broadway Play. There are dozens on at any one time and there are performances almost every night of the week. Some long-running favorites include The Lion King, Jersey Boys and Mamma Mia.

For the less culturally inclined, catching a sports game is another way to spend a snowy evening. The New York Knicks, Brooklyn Nets and New York Rangers are three teams that play inside warm arenas in the city.

After your long day avoiding the cold and snow it’s time to return to our warm boutique hotel, The MAve, for a restful night’s sleep.
