New York changes character every season, and your CityPASS strategy should change with it.

Seasonal overview

Season	Strength	Watch out for
Winter	Clear skyline days	Wind chill on decks/ferries
Spring	Balanced temperatures	Variable rain
Summer	Long daylight	Heat + peak crowds
Fall	Excellent walking weather	Popular weekends

Seasonal tactics
