New York in Sept/Oct

[agent1607307371]

Can anyone tell me what the weather is like in NY around the end of September/start of October? I'm going for a week and have no idea how to pack ~meep~

 

(Also, any suggestions for cool stuff to visit that I might not know about are welcome.)

I highly suggust taking a day and walking down by the harbor, near the financial district. L and I did this when we went to NY in June 20110 and it was by far the best day of our trip. It was just a casual walk, we went by the WTC site, we had lunch by the harbor.. if you need a down day, I suggust that.

 

Also, look into the River Line Cruise. It's this boat that goes around NY. You can either do the 2 hour or 3 hour trip - I suggust the 3 hour. I had no idea there was that much green in NY. I can't remember what we paid for our tickets. Oh! Also, if you are wanting to hit a bunch of the major sites - like the Empire State Building, Rockefeller, etc - get a CityPass. You can order it from there (L did) and pick it up at the first location you go to. Saved us a TON of money.

I'm not in NY but I live in NE and I am not far from the coast. I would plan for jeans, T's and sweaters maybe a light jacket. Or what ever your equivalent of those items are. Unless you get lucky with some sort of Indian Summer it will be cool and comfortable. Great timing for your visit. Should you rent a car try driving north for the day to check out the foliage...beautiful in the mountains. Enjoy!

Thanks catcountry, victoria - I've heard a lot of different things about the weather and was starting to panic about over/under dressing for it

 

OG - thanks for the suggestions

I would bring light casual pants and some T's and a few sweaters and a light jacket. It can be very cool in the evenings now, and some days can be warm and others can be chilly. It is hard to judge this time of year. I hope you have a great time!!!

Yeah, I'm actually having the same problem packing for our beach honeymoon in October. :s When we went to NY I did not expect it to be as hot as it was - we went beginning of June - and I REALLY should have packed sun block. L and I were lobsters by the end of the week.

I was not prepare for it, for sure. lol That first day we were there I work a tank top and jeans and about ROASTED. Which is why the next day, we spent covered up as much as we could, walking down by the harbor.
