Tuesday, January 31, 2023
While New York City has set new records for snowless streaks, low temperatures and gloomy weather nevertheless make many reluctant to go out. Fortunately, there are enough televised sports and entertainment options to see us into spring. The Super Bowl is scheduled for Sunday, February 12, six of the 10 Academy Award nominees for Best Picture can be viewed on streaming services, and new shows like The Last of Us, Poker Face, and Shrinking have taken audiences by storm.
At this point, big-screen TVs have become regular fixtures in multi-family buildings' residents' lounges. However, some developers have taken it to the next level by adding screening rooms with state-of-the-art technology, cushy seating, and stages that allow for live events.
