Best time to visit New York... email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 99/100. bookreadermom08 (1860)   ranked 5 out of 32 in new york11 months ago

If you were planning a long weekend away with the family and decided that New York was the place that would fit in with all your needs... what time of the year would you go?...

there is summer time when you can walk in Central Park and sit around the fountain while it is running... or the 4th of July when they have there fireworks by the Statue of Liberty....

or would the fall time be better, just a light coat, stand outside the NBC building and try to be seen on the Today show... lol.... or Winter when you can visit all the shops and see the "big christmas tree" in Rockerfeller plaza.... or New Years Eve in Times Square???

so when would you go?

Gosh that would be a tough decision. Especially if you had to make just one choice. My choice would probably be the 4th of July. The fireworks at the Statue of Liberty would have to be an awesome sight.
My grandsons just love to watch fireworks and the best ones we have seen so far have been at Disney.
So that is when I would want to visit New York would be on the 4th with my grandsons watching the fireworks at the Statue of Liberty.

thats a good one too... we have visited NY many years ago and it was in the fall time, It was warm enough for just a light jacket and we walked everywhere...I would not want to visit in the winter, I am just so tired of the snow right now...LOL

thanks for responding.

I have been to New York City in the springtime and in the summer. Both times were very enjoyable although the summer was a really better time because we walked everywhere and the weather was perfect. In the spring we had cold wind to contend with. It was hard to enjoy a good walk or go to central park. I would imagine it would be the same in the fall.

I never thought about it until you mentioned it here about the winter. My first thought about winter is to bundle up and stay home. It would be nice to see the large Christmas tree and people ice skating. It would be nice to shop the stores around Christmas and see all the decorations. I think though that my first choice would be summer because I like to walk and New York is a great place for that. I do love to stay in Time Square and New Year's Eve could be fun there!

well thanks for responding... and I was there in the fall time, and it was nice, it was actually the end of sept... and we really enjoyed it, but I think I would like summer next time. We didnt have much time to visit central park...and that would be perfect in the summer.

My favorite time I have been is definitly Christmas. There is so much to see, and the city is really done up then. If you go a second time I would suggest late summer to early fall. Then you can do the outdoor attractions like Ellis Island, the Statue of Liberty, Central Park, the new Yankee Stadium, etc. There will always be something to do in the city, so either way you will have a good time.


myLot reputation of 99/100. bookreadermom08 (1860)   ranked 5 out of 32 in new york  10 months ago

we were there in early fall... it was beautiful and we really enjoyed it, we got to see the empire state building, the statue of liberty and ellis island, and the museum of natural history... if we had more time we would have made it to central park... I would go back again in a heartbeat...it was great!!

thanks for the response.

Living in NJ and experiencing NYC in all the seasons, I would have to vote for either winter on a day where it isn't too horribly cold and definitely not windy or a nice day in the spring, again on a non-windy day. Summers in the city are humid at times and hot, humid days in the city are SMELLY!!!

oh my gosh I never thought of that, but then I guess you would know that being so close... that is great that you can have a day getaway to NYC...LOL

thanks for the response.

i went to NY in early feb 2007.. it was fantastic... sure it was a little chilly, but there were no queues, nothing... it was kind of like having the whole city to ourselves.
so i would recommend late jan early feb to go
