Daniel William McKnight for NY PostDaniel William McKnight for NY PostDaniel William McKnight for NY PostZ Sahin, 25, who works at a Christmas shop in Bryant Park, said the cold had led to smaller crowds compared with Christmas 2021.
“It was much busier last Christmas. Yesterday it was empty around 3 p.m. because of the cold,” said Sahin, who lives on Manhattan’s Upper West Side.Temperatures are still expected to remain very low over the next few days.“COVID definitely hurt the Christmas rush,” said Kimo Hasane, 38, of Kimo’s Halal Food, who had set his cart up Sunday at 43rd Street and Seventh Avenue. “We only work on weekends now.
None of that was enough to deter Kat and Matt, a couple from Charleston, South Carolina, who arrived in the city last Wednesday. “We walked out of a Broadway show and it dropped like 20-30 degrees on Friday. The wind was whipping!” Matt recounted. “It was pretty cold but it was worth it to get out here. It was my first time visiting the city, and it was 100% worth it.”
