Combine this with the grid layout of New York’s skyscrapers and streets can become wind tunnels blasting cold air. Except that the rivers on either side aren’t warm bodies of water, but ice flows. It all depends on your weather luck while you’re here. New York City can be tolerably cold, cold, and/or downright freezing in the winter.
If I had to choose the biggest mistake I see visitors make while in New York City during the winter, this would be it! Mistake #3: Not Wearing Warm Clothes or Comfy Shoes.
If it’s your first time in New York City, I’ve got more subway and city basics in this complete NYC guide. Snow, sleet, wind, or rain can all be avoided once you head underground. Train transfers are included in your $2.75 as long as you’re underground.Īnd speaking of below ground, the tunnels and platforms may not be heated, but they do offer protection against the cold New York City winter.

At $2.75, you can start out uptown at the Museum of Natural History or Harlem and go the full length of Manhattan down to the 9/11 Memorial and Museum or the Brooklyn Bridge. The subway is cheaper (and did I mention faster?) than any taxi ride. And saving time isn’t just about avoiding traffic but also about being strategic when it’ll take a long time to get somewhere on foot. The New York City Subway can quickly take you anyplace you’d like to go in Manhattan and even beyond into boroughs like Brooklyn and Queens.
You accomplish several things by using the subway instead.įirst and foremost, you save SO much time by heading underground and bypassing street traffic. And, even flat-rate rides can’t avoid the mega amount of time wasted when you realize it REALLY took that amount of time to go 2 miles. As the price on your yellow taxi meter ticks up, so will your stress and frustration. Taxis and Ubers can be helpful but they’re expensive and also have to sit in the same traffic as every other vehicle on the roads.
