If you’re planning on taking a New York City trip this
winter, it’s important to know what to expect. Let the New York City vacation
experts at NYCTrip.com guide you with this handy post on what you may encounter
when you book your trip this winter.
Attractions: Just
because it’s winter doesn’t mean that the hustle and bustle of New York City
stops! NYC is one of those places that you can visit all year round, so don’t
worry about attractions being closed during the winter months. You can still
take in museums, amazing shopping and dining, Broadway shows, and so much more.
Weather: January
and February are usually the coldest months for New York City, so expect to
experience temperatures ranging from average highs in the mid-30’s to average
lows in the low-20’s, in addition to cold winds that can make the temperature
feel even colder. You’ll want to pack along warm winter clothing, as well as
boots, since January and February are also peak times for the city getting
snow.
Winter-Specific
Activities: Wintertime is also a great time to visit the Big Apple because
of some of the winter-centric activities going on. In January and February, you
can take advantage of events and activities like:
- Broadway 2-for-1 Deals from January 24 to February 13
- Chinese New Year Parade on February 6
- Valentine’s Day promotions and events at various
restaurants, shops, and attractions.
- Ice skating in Central Park, Bryant Park, or in
Rockefeller Center
- New York City Restaurant Week (20 days for the 20th
Anniversary)from January 16 to February 10

take advantage of great hotel pricing. Many hotels offer special deals,
discounts, or vacation packages to get travelers in the door during the winter
months. Plus, when you book through
