When to Go

Winter in New York City is bitter thanks to the ocean, so NYC honeymooners should avoid visiting from November to February. Try to take your New York honeymoon from September to November for the best, most temperate weather. However, prices are steep during this peak season, so avoid the fall if you’re looking for something that’s budget-friendly.
