New York City
 |
Orientation
Everyone’s mind’s eye holds the picture of an idealized New York, a montage of George Gershwin and John Cheever, Fifth Avenue fashion and Greenwich Village poets, skyscrapers and Central Park. The great city is also a hundred other places at once, not all of them pretty but each arresting, unique, and unquestionably New York.
When to Go
Although summers are hot and humid and winters are cold, New York is a year-round destination. The best weather occurs from May through early June as well as mid-September to mid-October.
