With its Christmas shopping frenzy, fabulous holiday displays, seasonal skating rinks full of life, and beautiful parks covered in solitude and velvety snow, the winter season brings out the best of New York City.

And how better to sum up this feeling than with a compilation of stunning photographs that evoke not just the look, but also the mood of this mind-blowing melting pot of people, cultures, and dreams.
Fortunately, my favorite NYC photographer, Vivienne Gucwa, managed to capture it in all its glory. To see for yourself, take a look at her popular Tumblr blog NY Through The Lens, or better yet, check out her first photography book, also called NY Through The Lens.
In the meantime, go grab a cup of hot chocolate and feast your eyes on Vivienne’s magnificent shots of wintery New York City.
