  1. If you are looking for cherry blossoms in New York City, Untapped Cities has put together a guide covering spots from the Brooklyn Botanic Garden and Green-Wood Cemetery to Sakura Park in Manhattan, Hunter's Point South in Queens, and on Staten Island at Snug Harbor and Silver Lake Park. Some of the trees trace back to Japan's original 1912 gift to the United States. A beautiful and practical read for spring. #CherryBlossoms #NYC #StatenIsland #UntappedNY #Spring untappedcities.com/cherry-blos

  2. #NewYork - Warm Places for the Cold – #NewYorkCity

    The Department of Homeless Services has a policy called “Code Blue” for winter nights when the temperature drops to 32 degrees or below, including wind-chill, between 4:00 PM and 8:00 AM.

    What Changes When #CodeBlue is in Effect?

    On these nights, Department of Homeless Services policies are relaxed to ensure everyone is warm and safe. This includes:

    - Drop-in centers are required to take as many clients as possible, within the Department of Buildings restrictions.
    - Anyone in need of a place to go can walk into single adult or family shelters, without undergoing typical intake and eligibility procedures, for the night in question.
    - Clients can access any shelter, not just their assigned shelter, for the night in question.
    - More outreach teams will be on the streets to offer services and shelter.
    - No shelter suspensions or sanctions can be carried out on these dates. Clients who have been sanctioned can return to the shelter for the night in question, if necessary."
