Best time to Visit

Do you dream of Christmas or summer in New York? Well, you're far from alone-these are the peak periods for tourism here. If you're happy to brave the competition for affordable accommodations, these times of year are wonderful. But spring and fall are no less special, and come with the bonus of shorter lines at popular attractions. In our view, any time is a great time for a bite of the Big Apple, so why not pick one of the cheaper months?

What to Pack

New York City is a place to look your coolest, so bring your most interesting (though not necessarily your fanciest) outfits. There are some other items it pays to pack, too:

  • A camera: Does this go without saying? It should. New York has one of the most striking cityscapes there is, and most phone cameras can't capture that.
  • A backpack: It's by far the safest and most practical way of toting all your bits and pieces around the city. Use it to carry your...
  • Layers: Outside of summer, you'll want a sweater or a light jacket on hand, at a bare minimum. And the depths of winter require a coat, hat and scarf.
Getting Around

There are very good reasons why the New York City subway is so well loved. It really is easy to use, plus it runs all night. Get yourself a MetroCard as soon as you arrive and getting from A to B will be a breeze. Your MetroCard will also cover bus travel, which will likely come in handy a few times during your visit. And of course, when you're in a hurry, you can always hail one of those unmistakable yellow cabs or use a ridesharing app.
