When is your ideal time to visit NYC?

As a long time poster on the message board I have always been interested in a visit to NYC. I just looked at USA today in the garden section and I must say that the Brooklyn Gardens seem to be beautiful in the spring! I have also considered the fall because my husband and I were married in early November. In terms of crowds and great weather, when is your favorite time to see the Big Apple?

I should specify- lower numbers of people, if that is possible in New York!

May/early June are usually beautiful - not too hot yet. And late Spet/Oct also usually have good weather - but will be more expensive for hotesl since you're on the way into high season.

Avoid July and Aug - just too hot for all the walking and outdoor touring you do in NYC.

By November gardens will be mostly brown and crunchy - and hotel prices sky high.

Thanks NY traveler. I would love to visit for our 10 yr. anniversary, but I would be willing to go a little earlier in the year to take advantage of those spring flowers!

The cheapest and least crowded time to go is the second week in January through the first week or so of February.

July and August are packed.
