What is the best time of year to visit New York?

Fall and spring are the best time to visit the Big Apple. You can expect balmy temperatures to reign supreme in the months from April to June and September until November. October has particularly gorgeous weather, and you've also escaped all the heat and summer tourism crowds. The fall foliage in Central Park is absolutely gorgeous during October and the leaves look almost like they are on fire.

Fall festivals in NYC are packed with literally hundreds of events to choose from in October, so definitely mark that down in your itinerary of things to experience. Some other highlights of October in the City include the Chelsea Market and Oyster bash. There will also be wine tasting events held at hotels such as Rooftop Reds n Brooklyn during that month.

Regarding September, any New Yorker will tell you that September has to be the most pleasant month for sunny skies and low heat and humidity. There are boat tours by day and Broadway Theatre by night, plus a whole lot more to experience here in September.
