However, many people plan to visit NYC specifically in the winter for one exciting reason - the legendary New Years Eve celebrations on Times Square! If visiting New York City in February, make sure you partake in Chinese New Year. Or head to the city in March for the St. Patrick's Day parade. September and February are the best times to visit if you are a fashionista because that is when the city hosts Mercedes Benz Fashion Week.
