Peak Season: September to October; December; May to June
If you're visiting in the fall or spring expect great weather and high prices; rates spike again during the holiday season, as the city overflow with shoppers.
Off Season: January to February; July to August
Winters, averaging 35°F, are cold, but if you don't mind bundling up, you'll be privy to discounted post-holiday rates on flights and hotels. Summers – hazy, hot, and humid – also see discounted hotel rates.
Sweet Spot: March to April; November
You’ll cash in on good deals during these months, but gamble on the weather – spring is rainy and, like fall, in the upper 40s. August, in the upper 70s, is sweaty.
