Manhattan - Greenwich Village in February

April through June gives you perfect Village weather. Trees bloom along the side streets, outdoor dining opens up, and Washington Square Park becomes the neighborhood's living room. Temperatures sit in the comfortable 60s and 70s. September through November rivals spring for ideal conditions. The leaves turn gorgeous colors, summer crowds thin out, and restaurant patios stay open through October. Plus you'll catch the Village Halloween Parade if you're here in late October — it's genuinely one of NYC's best free events. Winter has its charm but those cobblestone streets become ice rinks when it snows. Summer gets sweltering and the narrow streets trap heat. But summer also means outdoor concerts in Washington Square Park and the best people-watching of the year.
