Hey guys I'm 22 visiting New York with my 12 year old sister on the 27th october till 3rd november this will be my first time there. We have got the city pass for some of the tourist attractions but i was just wondering what else would be good to do at that time of season and what sort of events normally go on also what will the weather be like so we know what kind of clothes to bring shoes,clothes etc
I'm just talking about normal events that go on that week that happens every year like anything special for halloween..?? does no one live in nyc here or what
You could check out the village Halloween parade at the end of October. I'm not sure exactly when its going to be held this year. Other than the standard tourist attractions that everyone knows about, you can try to catch a Broadway show as well.
The end of October/beginning of November can be chilly--so bring a warm jacket. You shouldn't need a heavy winter coat at that point however.
This is the sort of question that's best answered by reading a guidebook. Or if you don't want to pay the $12 for a book, you could google "NYC things to do" and read blogs that cover this kind of material. Time Out NY has a website you could look at for starters.
It is hard to predict the exact weather for that time period as it be changeable due to the fall season and after the winter we just had here, I don't think it is easy to predict the exact forecast.
You have a 12 year old with you so for Halloween, you'll want to keep that in mind. There are haunted houses and a parade, but some of it may be too mature for her depending on your views.
Weather can be crisp that time of year, but it's also a good time to start catching the changing leaves. Central Park, the Botanical Gardens, and the Bronx Zoo are good excursions.
There is mini golf downtown on Pier 25.
You didn't mention your interests but there are plenty of different kinds of museums from types of art, to history, to the history of the subway, FDNY, etc.
Yes, you can take her to the parade. New Yorker's tend to live very much in the minute. It's just not realistic for us to give you specific things to do months and months away from your visit date, especially when you didn't give us any info on your interests. It depends on the weather around that time, your interests, and exactly what is going on.
