💰 How far does your money go?
Eat like a New Yorker and the city stays manageable. A cheese slice costs $3.50-$5, about €3-4.50, roughly the price of a caña and a tapa in La Latina. A deli coffee is $2-3, and a subway ride anywhere in the city is a flat $3. Sit-down bars are another story: a draught pint runs around $8, close to €7.50, almost three cañas back in Madrid.
☀️ The Weather
Late January and early February are the coldest weeks of the New York year. Highs sit around 3-5°C and nights drop to -3°C or lower. Snow is likely at some point, and the wind off the Hudson makes it feel colder. Pack a proper coat, gloves and a hat.

🎯 What to Do
Winter thins the crowds and New York moves indoors, to museums, bars and diners.
Lunar New Year in Chinatown: The Year of the Goat starts on Saturday 6 February 2027, with firecrackers and lion dances around Mott Street. Five of the date pairs cover it.
Ice skating in Central Park: Laps on Wollman Rink with the Midtown towers rising above the trees.
The Met on a snowy afternoon: Egyptian temples, Old Masters and rooftop views, with the queues of summer long gone.
Top of the Rock at sunset: The skyline from 70 floors up, with the Empire State Building right in the frame.
