Good morning and happy Monday. The anticipated light flurry of snow last night didn’t come to much, and there’s no significant snowfall in the long-range forecast. NBC reports that back in 1973 the city didn’t have any significant accumulation until January 29. We might set a new record for the latest snowfall this year! Today will be sunny from 11am.

It was so nice to see Randy Stricklin-Witherspoon pop up in our social media feed. He was revisiting the space where his restaurant Spoonfed used to be on W51st Street. “I just had a great dining experience at Carla. Please give them some love and support and of course, enjoy a great meal. Oh yah, it’s located in the Old Spoonfed space. It’s still a wonderful place for cast parties of all sizes,” Randy said on Instagram.
Happy birthday to Howie Ostrofsky from On the Rocks.
