The first thing to do when considering visiting New York City, the first thing to do is to consider when to visit.
I have found that visiting after the new year (Second week in January) is the best time to visit. I am visiting again this year, January 6-13, last year I visited January 10-15 and it was far more pricey, so even just a matter of days can make a huge difference. I am going to list out a list of pro's and con's that I have found with visiting the city during this time of year.
The Pro's:
1.) Lower cost (will be broken down in a future blog post)
2.) Smaller crowds
3.) Some winter activities may still be going on
4.) The city is beautiful in the winter (if snow has fallen)
The Con's:
1.) Cold temperatures
2.) Weather related travel delays
3.) Limited outside activities*
These are the pro's and con's according to me, others will have some similar ones as I do, and some may have others.
