New York City is the country’s financial, media and cultural capital, home to Wall Street and the New York Stock Exchange, the headquarters of global banks, law firms, publishers, advertising agencies and fashion houses, and the United Nations on the East River. Five boroughs and more than eight million residents make it the largest city in the United States, and on any given weekday it absorbs a steady stream of dealmakers, buyers, artists and visitors arriving for meetings, shows and events.
Getting in and out is the hard part. The region’s three big airline airports are crowded, and connecting through them can eat most of a day. Flying private lets you use the general aviation airports that ring the city, such as Teterboro in New Jersey, Westchester County in White Plains and Republic on Long Island, then continue by car into Manhattan. It also makes quick hops to the Hamptons, Nantucket or the Hudson Valley practical. Leisure travelers come for Broadway, Central Park, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and neighborhood restaurants in every borough.

Things to do in New York City
When to go. Fall is New York at its best, with crisp days, foliage in Central Park and the start of the theater, opera and gallery seasons. Late November through December brings the Thanksgiving Day Parade, the Rockefeller Center tree and holiday windows on Fifth Avenue. Spring is mild and pleasant, while summer is hot and humid but full of outdoor concerts and festivals. January and February are cold, quieter and often the easiest time to get restaurant reservations.
