New York City Roars in the Snow [Door of the Month – February 2026]

by Jennifer (aka Dr. J)

This winter has been crazy cold. I arrived in New York City for my day job on January 26th, a day after a huge winter storm roared through the area and dumped over a foot of snow on Manhattan.

Fortunately, the sidewalks were clear on Tuesday, so I was able to bundle up and go door hunting on my way from the hotel to the office. I am a firm believer that there is no bad weather, just bad clothing choices!

A wide view of a grand brownstone stoop leading up to twin wooden doors. Two stone lion statues act as sentinels on the stairs, which are covered in patches of white snow. The warm afternoon sun casts long shadows across the architecture.

A close-up of two identical, grand wooden doors numbered 351 and 353 in a New York City brownstone. The doors feature elegant arched transoms and intricate carvings. Fresh snow dusts the stone ledges and a small lion statue sits on the stoop.

I’ve already shared a few of my favorite stone-cold doors from the trip in the door of the week competition. My door of the month continues along these lines.

When I walked past the stately lion guarding the front stoop of two neighbor doors that were covered in snow and then looked more closely to see a second lion in a planter near one of the front doors, I thought, “Aha! This is my door of the month!”.

I think this door perfectly captures the spirit of my travels last month: cold but stoic.
