Why New York?
The city that never sleeps
New York City never sleeps. After living four and half years in the Big Apple, I can confirm the lights are always on and there's always things happening. Cherry blossoms the spring, Pride in summer, Halloween and Thanksgiving in the Fall, Christmas and New Year winter, it never stops. From beautiful decorations, to blooms everywhere, festivals and celebration, you'll find in NYC a city full of wonderful people, food and entertainment.
If you're looking to visit New York City, know that the best time is May to July. You'll get to see some beautiful blooms all over the city and will enjoy amazing weather. NYC is fantastic all year round but August and September are known to be hurricane season. The city is of course a delight during Halloween and the Holidays!
