Spring is the right choice if you want to enjoy New York City outdoors without the heat of summer but are willing to bring an umbrella for seasonal storms. The city comes alive in spring, and it's the perfect season for walking tours. Events start to get into full swing as well; for example, April is the time for the Tribeca Film Festival and the Cherry Blossom Festival, and both the Mets and the Yankees have opening days in late March or early April each year.
