She’ll show you the unique architecture and cutting-edge art that is a part of and surrounds the High Line, but you really should come for the awesome views!

The best time to visit NYC depends on what best means to you. If by best you mean cheapest times to visit, then that’s much easier to answer, come just about anytime between January and February. However, there are also relatively cheap times to visit during periods of the high season. Read our section below explaining when is cheapest.... If your definition of best is mostly concerning the weather, then that’s also an easy answer. You should visit between May and June or between September and November. This is when it is the warmest with the least amount of rain. Watch more NYC tips and walking tour videos https://www.facebook.com/FreeNewYorkTours/videos/.

For over 150 years Union Square has been a hub of shopping, commerce, entertainment, and political activism. Join Lori, a guide with Free Tours by Foot on this live walk through one of Manhattan's most iconic neighborhoods, home to the first Shake Shack :). Union Square has frenetic energy similar to the pace of Midtown but with the hip feel of downtown. In the early 1800s, the area was rural with a potter’s field (cemetery for the poor). In 1807, two major roads intersecte...d here and this intersection was designated as Union Place because of the ‘union’ of these two roads, Bloomingdale Road (now Broadway) and Bowery Road (now 4th Avenue). By the 1850s, the area surrounding Union Place was filled with elegant mansions, hotels, stores, and banks.
