June is almost here

Hi all,

June is right around the corner and this is a great time to visit NYC. Here are a few stats/tips, etc. about visiting the city in the early part of the summer.

June Weather:
Average High: 79°F
Average Low: 64°F
June's warm weather welcomes visitors to New York City who want to enjoy walking the streets of New York City, and the many exciting summer activities in the city.

What to Wear:
pack an umbrella
a sweater
closed toe shoes, comfortable for walking and water-resistant if possible
a picnic blanket is great if you want to check out some of the free concerts and movies

June Perks:
warm weather for visiting New York City, but not as hot as the rest of summer
perfect time of year for New York's many walking tours
the annual Museum Mile Festival
many summer concerts and outdoor film festivals to see (most of which are free!)
Restaurant Week returns, so enjoy the opportunity to try some of New York City's restaurants at bargain prices

June Cons:
warmer weather
more crowds, especially later in the month when schools are out

Good to Know:
If you want to go to any of the movies or free concerts in New York City parks, bring a blanket and pack a picnic dinner -- you can even bring some wine and beer if you're discrete. It's a great experience and truly gives you a taste of being a local New Yorker.
