New Yorkers' favorite time of year, though, is probably fall, when a bumper crop of New Broadway shows, restaurants, and stores arrive, returning the city's sense of energy after the languor of summer.
The much maligned New York subway system may not be the most pleasant to use—yes, it is dirty, crowded, and in the summer, unbearably hot, at least on the platforms—but it's hard to beat for connecting all points of the city.
New Yorkers have a particular walking style, though, which is basically to keep moving regardless of vehicles, other pedestrians, traffic signals, or the flashing red hand (Don't Walk) at intersections.
