New York rewards those who pack light and dress in layers. Seasons vary wildly, from humid summers to bitter winters — this list adapts to whenever you're visiting.

💡 Local tips

Things to know before you pack

  • Comfortable walking shoes are non-negotiable — you'll clock 20,000+ steps a day

  • Pack layers — buildings are over-heated in winter and heavily air-conditioned in summer

  • A crossbody bag beats a rucksack for subway navigation

  • Power adapters: US uses 110V / Type A/B plugs
