We’d rather be lucky than good. When it comes to weather, one must always rely on luck for a trip that is planned months in advance. We were luck on this trip. Five full days in NYC; temps in the 40s all week and only one day of precipitation. We walked in rain most of the day on Wednesday. Not too bad.
Our flight landed 3 hours late in NYC, but we did get checked into the Times Square Hilton Garden shortly after midnight, before the 3:00 am cutoff. So…we slept in Monday morning then headed over toward the Empire State Building.

One observation to be aware of NYC iconic sights and destinations. Security is TSA level at most places. The Empire State building is one of them.
