When is the best time to visit NYC and Boston? Is January a bad time? I heard there's lots of snow storms during that period. But the only time I can travel is December-January. What can I do during the winter months in NY n Boston?

NYC is awsome. Especially if u live in a small town like I do. I have been out there 4 times and I always had something to do. Ice Skating, Rockefeller, Time Square is awsome to see at night. TRL if u sign up online u can make plans to be in the audience its free. If u go to the statue of liberty and want to take the cruise I would go online to the site and book 3 days ahead of time otherwise if u just want to see it from the view and dont want to go into the museum take the Staten Island ferry it takes u right by there. Central Park is really nice to see but u need a whole day to go through it and to see everything. took me from 11am til 5pm from top to bottom. they have these bike ppl that will take u through, its not that expensive and they show u popular places like the fountain on friends and where the bridge is at in Home alone 2 lost in new york and other places that was cool. If u r going to be there for a couple weeks and want to see everything u should get the NYC pass there are two different ones and u will have to go on the NYC site but its the cheapest way to get into everything. I wanted to go to the top of the tower but never made it there. The wax museum was cool. The beach at coney Island was nice. The world trade center was sad and there is a church there that was nice but emotional. If u do go out there, i wouldnt drive coz u can get the metro pass and u can take any subway train or bus anywhere in NYC and surrounding areas, it will get u anywhere and u can get a 7 day unlimited for $27 i think it was. Parking is outrageous. If u go plan to take some money coz u r gonna want to spend and nothing is that cheap. Dont eat at the chinese place at the rockefeller yeck it was gross, if u like chinese food and want good food go to Flushing Queens or there is a place on Canal Street but I dont know address. Pizzaria was a good place to eat pizza and that was in Woodhaven BLVD.
In boston we went whale watching and that was cool but it is only during certain months and I went in August.
It is really cold there in the winter. one day it was sunny and during the night they got like 4 feet of snow or more last year in just hours.. i couldnt believe it. There is just so much to do. I walked all over NYC so many shops.
It was great I think u will like it. Its not that hard to find things and to get around once u get there and see how things are. I went my first time alone and it was pretty simple. You will have a blast. If it wasnt for me having kids I would move there. Take care and best wishes.

Best time to visit NYC unfortunately is the winter months around December so you can see the largest tree at the Rockerfeller Center during the Christmas season. Take a digitial camera along so you can take those excellent snap shots of NYC during the Christmas time.

NYC and Boston are FREEZING in December and January. And, the people who told you there are snow storms are right. However, if you go in December at least you get to see all the beautiful holiday decorations.

NYC is overrated.. Lived here 45 years. Small town is where it's at.. If people in small towns have nothing to do.. it's their fault. Instead of feeling sorry for yourselves.. get together and demand that infrastructure (besides malls) be built. Demand ice skating rinks.. theaters.. indoor pool / spa resorts. These things are absolutely possible.. if you're reply is "that's going to take money.. politicians are going to raise our taxes.. etc" ..think about this.. most professional sport stadiums (including racetracks ie. nascar) are funded solely by you.. the taxpayer.

I have lived in nyc for a long time and most storms happen over night. But when they happen in the day most things are still open.
