Morning Brief: February 25

Time to do something about that cold

It's going to stay pretty cold the rest of this week--so why not warm up and shake off some of that Seasonal Affective Disorder (also known by the unintentionally precise acronym, S.A.D.) with a mug of hot chocolate? The NYC Hot Chocolate Festival at the City Bakery is set to end at the end of the month, so it's now or never.
