Thermals! Am not joking. Wentfor xmas a few years ago and was almost crying from the pain in my ears! Jeans are the worst things to wear in cold weather. Ive been to Moscow in minus 20 and it felt worse in NY because of the humidity. Cashmere,wool,wicking fabrics to get rid of the moisture. Have fun, we sure did!

pack as little as possible as you will be able to shop til you drop when you are there! i always take one outfit for the first day and night, and literally buy everything when i am there!

Black. New Yorkers wear black. black pants/skirt/top/shoes = ready for NYC Bring a warm coat/hat/gloves (alternatively you can buy hat/gloves easily on the street). Jeans and comfy shoes for sightseeing. Socks or tights!!!!! If you don't own these items or know someone you can borrow them from, you can do some online shopping and have it sent to your hotel for your arrival. it CAN snow end of November- so must be ready for anything....
