NYC is the yin to California's yang. The city's vertical architecture, crowded subways and break-neck pace are anything but laid-back. However, New York City delivers a dynamic energy that can't be found back home. Like Californians, New Yorkers follow their passion, which is exactly what you should do when you land. Whether you love theater, stand-up comedy, kayaking or just sipping something blue on a rooftop bar, the city caters to virtually every whim. Explore art galleries in Chelsea, window-shop in Nolita, sample Mooncake in Chinatown or tour Central Park from a Citi Bike, New York's cheap public bicycle sharing system. Don't be afraid of the subway - beginners can stick to simple trips and ask riders if they're on the right train to avoid getting lost.
Many tourists visit New York City in the summer when schedules are more relaxed. However, Californians may wilt in the humid heat waves of July and August. Late spring and early autumn are your best bets for perfect walking weather - and walk you shall. Pack comfortable shoes and forgo flip flops to avoid getting your toes stepped on. You can learn to walk like a native in a New York minute if you treat the sidewalks like the highways back home: walk on the right-hand side, keep pace with your lane and don't block the flow of traffic by walking side-by-side in large groups.
Start saving on your New York trip now using our smart search engine, which helps you comb over hundreds of flights from California to New York for the cheapest fare.
