Pro tips for visiting New York in November

  • Layer smart: Daytime averages around 12 °C, but evenings drop to ~5 °C. Dress in light layers and carry a scarf.
  • Weather-ready gear: Expect around 10 rainy days this month. Bring a compact umbrella and something waterproof.
  • Transport timing: Subways and rideshares get crowded in the two weeks before Thanksgiving; always add buffer time.
  • Weekday matinees: Tuesday to Thursday afternoon shows offer better seating options and calmer theater crowds.
  • Post-show strolls: Bryant Park’s holiday market is a magical stop after evening shows, especially on weekends.
  • Book Thanksgiving early: Family-friendly shows sell out well before Nov 26–28; secure seats in advance.
  • Subway over rideshare: The subway stays reliable during holiday surges, while Uber prices spike on major event nights.
  • Pre-show snack tip: Breads Bakery near Shubert Alley is ideal for fresh pastries or sandwiches before your show.
  • TKTS strategy: Visit midday for the best same-day Broadway deals. There are fewer tourists in November.
  • Carry a power bank: Digital tickets, navigation, and holiday queues will drain your phone battery faster than usual.
