Uncategorized / 1 Comment

By now, most people in the New York area seem to at least have found power. Maybe it’s a few miles away, but people have proved very resourceful in finding ways to recharge their laptops/cell phones/etc! Source: reddit/r/nyc, my new fav site for local info I’ve constantly been telling friends that if they want to come to my place, I can offer water, power, shelter, and some fresh-baked scones 🙂 But in case that’s too far for some of you, I heard today from my contact at New York Sports Clubs that they are officially opening their doors to help …
