NYC chicks are probably used to these ridiculous rainstorms of late, and I know why. NYC is filled with savvy girls who use utility & style to protect themselves in the worst of Mother Nature’s battlegrounds. Running to a meeting by subway, or frolicking out for drinks downtown means nothing, when armed with these tough-chick NYC essentials.
