Events in NYC
 

I'm going to be in NYC the weekend of November 4th, 5th and 6th visiting a friend. I've done all the touristy stuff, and things off the beaten path and know my way around well. What I'm looking for is anything going on that weekend, street fairs, parades, special presentations, things like that. I've looked around and there doesn't seem to be anything. This could be true, but does anyone know of anything I'm missing?
Thanks!

The New York City Marathon is Nov. 6. It will not be possible to miss it.

Get a current copy of New York Magazine, there is a listing there of things to do and see over the weekend, and it lists all the sample sales as well.

The Marathon is fun to see, you can cheer on the runners.

Have you done the Cloisters? Since it looks like a nice weekend the view of the Hudson, and the trees just starting to change would be nice scenery from there.

I'll check what street fairs are happening and post back.

There are several Street Fairs this weekend.

Park Ave 17th St - 23rd St.
Astor Place Layfette to B'way
Washington Square Park
52nd St Jazz Festival to 7th Ave

You might check thw www.nyctourist.com site for more details, and ideas of what else is happening in the city.

Have a great time.

Sorry, got my dates wrong. Those are the street fairs for THIS weekend.

The fairs the weekend you are going to be here are listed on the site I posted and include a big one on Madison Ave.

Have a great time.

Hit the NYC Marathon Expo at Javits Center. It is open to the public.

Watch the marathon.
