Best: Jul-Aug · Great: May-Jun, Sep-Oct
Four distinct seasons run through the year here, from January's chill to July's warmth, with rain spread fairly evenly across the calendar rather than concentrated in one stretch. In August, expect highs around 27°C with rain on roughly 9 days of the month.
New York City's museums, Broadway, and neighborhoods each deserve dedicated time rather than a single rushed day — the Met, MoMA, Central Park, and a walk across the Brooklyn Bridge are a reasonable first-timer's core. Boston's Freedom Trail covers the city's Revolutionary War history in a single walkable route, and fall foliage road trips through Vermont and New Hampshire are a genuine seasonal draw specific to this region.
Try New England clam chowder and a classic lobster roll.
