rainy day in New York

I've got my window open and I'm listening to the rain. It seems to mask all the usual noises of the city, though I can still hear the occasional bus passing by. At this moment, the rain seems soothing and romantic.
This morning as I walked to work in the rain, I wasn't so idealistic about a rainy day. By the time, I reached the building my shoes and socks were soaking wet. I spent most of my day with squishy, wet feet. I think I might look into some better rainy day shoes for walking in New York. The forecast predicts more rain. I don't want 2 more days of squishy, wet feet.
