We are completely convinced, what about you?<\/p>\n<p>No matter the season, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/travelbycarlavianna.com\/three-day-nyc-itinerary-top-things-to-do\/\">a visit to New York City<\/a> is always a good idea. New York is the kind of destination that attracts visitors all year long, but if there\u2019s one season that truly brings magic to the city, it\u2019s winter.<\/p>\n<p>New York\u2019s ornate holiday displays are reason alone to visit NYC in the winter months. Cozy afternoons in West Village cafes and snowy walks in Central Park are an added bonus.<\/p>\n<p>The good thing about visiting NYC in the winter is that there\u2019s no need to stay outside if the temperatures drop. While there are plenty of exciting outdoor <strong>things to do in NYC in the winter<\/strong>, there\u2019s a myriad of indoor experiences like museums and restaurants that offer a warm retreat from the cold.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Visit_NYC_In_The_Winter\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Visit_NYC_In_The_Winter\"><\/span>Why Visit NYC In The Winter<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">It\u2019s no secret that New York is one of the most exciting seasonal destinations to visit in the U.S. Each season is prominently defined and equally celebrated throughout the city, whether it be with pumpkin displays in the fall or a line of ice cream trucks in the summer. You may be asking yourself, then, \u201cWhy should I brave the cold and visit in the winter?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Imagine this: Start your morning with a snowy horse-drawn carriage ride in Central Park, and spend the rest of the day ice skating with hot chocolate in hand. At night, head to one of the many European-like winter markets across the city, snap a photo of the giant Christmas tree in the park, and enjoy the sparkling holiday lights all around you.<\/p>\n<p>Are you beginning to paint a picture of what NYC looks like in the winter? It\u2019s like living in a Hallmark movie!<\/p>\n<p>If you do decide to visit NYC in the winter, the best time is November and December, when the city is at the peak of its holiday celebrations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1280\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/NYC-In-The-Winter.jpg\" alt=\"Things To Do In NYC In Winter\" class=\"wp-image-20013\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/NYC-In-The-Winter.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/NYC-In-The-Winter-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/NYC-In-The-Winter-768x960.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1280\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/NYC-In-The-Winter.jpg\" alt=\"Things To Do In NYC In Winter\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-20013\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/NYC-In-The-Winter.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/NYC-In-The-Winter-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/NYC-In-The-Winter-768x960.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The last two months of the year offer a number of holiday-<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">theme<\/a>d events that are unique to the city of New York, including the Macy\u2019s Thanksgiving Day Parade, the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree lighting, and the New Year\u2019s Eve ball drop. This is why spending Christmas or New Year\u2019s in New York finds its way onto so many bucket lists.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Aside from the holiday festivities, the winter is also one of the most romantic times to visit NYC.<\/p>\n<p>Cozying up near a hotel fireplace with a couple of glasses of red wine is just as much a New York experience as is ice skating in the park. Plus, the city is likely to be less crowded in the winter, which means you\u2019ll have better luck securing reservations at the most charming restaurants in town.<\/p>\n<p>Many people also choose to visit NYC in January and February, too. The early months of the year offer more affordable airfare and hotel rates, as well as tons of post-holiday sales.<\/p>\n<p>While the holiday decorations may be taken down, Central Park will remain just as picturesque \u2014 and perhaps even snowier. January and February are considered to be the snowiest months in NYC.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/New-york-in-Winter.jpg\" alt=\"Why Visit NYC In The Winter\" class=\"wp-image-20002\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/New-york-in-Winter.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/New-york-in-Winter-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/New-york-in-Winter-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/New-york-in-Winter.jpg\" alt=\"Why Visit NYC In The Winter\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-20002\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/New-york-in-Winter.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/New-york-in-Winter-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/New-york-in-Winter-768x512.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><figcaption>Christmas decorations in New York<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_Stay_in_NYC\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_Stay_in_NYC\"><\/span>Where to Stay in NYC<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>NYC is made up of several delightful neighborhoods, each of which offer their own hotel experiences.<\/p>\n<p>The biggest concentration of well-known hotel chains can be found in Midtown. This is the center of Manhattan below Central Park. It\u2019s a central location with easy access to public transportation but be warned: The closer you get to Times Square, the more crowded the streets become, and the more expensive hotels get.<\/p>\n<p>While many people may want to stay near Times Square, it\u2019s actually regarded as one of the least favorable locations by locals. You\u2019re better off staying at a hotel a few blocks south, such as near Herald Square or Union Square. Or stay a few blocks north, near Midtown East or the lower Upper East Side. Not only will you get a better rate, but you\u2019ll also be closer to better restaurants.<\/p>\n<p>Head over to Queens to find more affordable hotel deals, or over to Brooklyn for luxe hotel rooms that boast incredible views of the Manhattan skyline. For a stay that feels more local, check out hotels or Airbnbs in neighborhoods like the East Village and the West Village.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_Things_To_Do_In_NYC_In_The_Winter\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_Things_To_Do_In_NYC_In_The_Winter\"><\/span>10 Things To Do In NYC In The Winter<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>From ice skating in Central Park to spending an afternoon at The Met, there are a myriad of <strong>things to do in NYC in the winter<\/strong>.

Here\u2019s a local tip: One of the best times to ice skate is at dusk, right before the skyscrapers begin to light up around you.<\/p>\n<p>The Wollman Rink in Central Park can be found at the entrance on West 59th Street and Sixth Avenue. Meanwhile, the rink at Bryant Park can be found between Fifth Avenue and Avenue of the Americas, between 40th and 42nd Streets. You can bring your own skates or rent some on site.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"516\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Ice-skating-in-Central-Park.jpg\" alt=\" Things To Do In NYC In The Winter\" class=\"wp-image-20009\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Ice-skating-in-Central-Park.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Ice-skating-in-Central-Park-300x151.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Ice-skating-in-Central-Park-768x387.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"516\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Ice-skating-in-Central-Park.jpg\" alt=\" Things To Do In NYC In The Winter\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-20009\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Ice-skating-in-Central-Park.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Ice-skating-in-Central-Park-300x151.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Ice-skating-in-Central-Park-768x387.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><figcaption>Ice Skating in Central Park<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Holiday_Markets_in_Bryant_Park_and_Union_Square\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Holiday_Markets_in_Bryant_Park_and_Union_Square\"><\/span>#2 Holiday Markets in Bryant Park and Union Square<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Feel transported to a European winter village at the Bryant Park and Union Square holiday markets.
