Take on the NYC sidewalk after a snowstorm

New York City was a complete swamp today from the two days of snow
followed by the complete downpour last night. The puddles near the
sidewalks were lakes by the time I got in this morning, the mounts of
packed powder were everywhere and there were more wet feet and socks
than in a Louisiana swamp
But one place had their sidewalks perfectly cleared. It wasn't in
front of one of the big name banks, wasn't a big time attorney firm
near Rockefeller, a pen shop up near Harlem or a small building in
midtown. The place with the cleanest sidewalks was FlashDancers up on
Broadway and 52nd street. At 8:30 this morning, a full
three-and-a-half hours before they open their doors, their sidewalks
looked like they belong in South Beach. There was not a drop of snow
or salt, just a perfectly clean, completely inviting entrance to a
little slice of heaven
