💰 How far does your money go?
New York is not cheap, but the street food keeps it in check. A classic cheese slice costs $3.50-$5, about €3-4.50, less than a bocadillo and a caña on a Barcelona terrace. A plain bagel from a deli is $1.50-$3. Drinks are where it bites: a pint of draught beer runs around $8, roughly €7.50, three times what you'd pay for a caña back home.
☀️ The Weather
March is New York's transition month. Early in the month, highs sit around 6-7°C and nights drop to around 0°C, so pack a proper coat. By late March, afternoons climb to 11-13°C and nights hover at 3-5°C. A late snowfall is still possible in the first half of the month.
🏨 Where to Stay
From compact Midtown pods to a SoHo townhouse-style splurge, Manhattan covers every budget.

🎯 What to Do
New York runs on neighbourhoods, each one a different city.
St Patrick's Day Parade: On Wednesday 17 March 2027, around 150,000 marchers head up Fifth Avenue from 44th to 79th Street. Several of the date pairs cover it.
Central Park in early spring: Bare trees, empty paths and the first blossom towards the end of the month.
Lower East Side food crawl: Pastrami, dumplings and pickles, block after block.
Top of the Rock at sunset: The skyline from 70 floors up, with the Empire State Building right in the frame.
