When?

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.
