In New York, too, the leaves are gradually changing colors and autumn is just around the corner. Autumn is a very special season in the City of Dreams. Some may prefer winter , when the city turns into a winter wonderland with lots of snow. Others particularly like spring because all the plants start to bloom and it is no longer so cold . Because in New York it is not uncommon for temperatures to reach double digits below zero. And then there are those who love summer with the great leisure activities outdoors , on the beach or in the parks. However, in New York the climate is very humid in the summer months. In some places the humidity is close to 100% , so many New Yorkers sometimes prefer to stay at home with their air conditioning. In autumn it is usually still nice and warm, but not so humid and it is fun to be in the fresh air.
It's the perfect time of year for a delicious picnic. You can sit down with your Starbucks coffee or food from a restaurant in Bryant, Central or Washington Square Park . Or you can plan a real picnic with various delicacies and a blanket to sit on. There are great places like Dean & Deluca or some hotels that will put together a complete picnic basket for you.

- Officially, alcoholic drinks are generally prohibited outdoors in New York.

But remember to organize it accordingly yourself. When it comes to a restaurant's put together picnics, they are always put together without alcohol.
