New York is a popular destination throughout the year, although the weather is most pleasant in the spring and autumn, when the temperature is consistently around 20C. Summer is long and it gets very hot and humid in the city, while winter can be extremely cold, and snowy.
Many people visit the city to go Christmas Shopping for weekends in November and December, and in truth, there are few places more festive than New York at that time of year. New Year is the time when the city is host of the world's biggest celebrations, which take place around Times Square.
