^This, it's just the cold restricts you somewhat in terms of the amount of time you spend walking around exploring. You'll probably notice you spend a lot of time ducking in and out of the subways, cabs and anywhere indoor as the wind chill factor plus minus temperatures doesn't lend itself well to a walk into Central Park or an afternoon in Coney Island.

i didn't think new york was that bad in terms of cold. i mean yeah, it's cold - but i went to chicago a week or two later and that was without question the coldest i've ever experienced. with wind chill i'm sure it got down to -20 or something ridiculous.
It's great in winter unless it's snowing heavily, de icing the plane is quite funny to watch but the snow disrupts movements for tourists, bonus is the ice rink is open on Central Park and if it does snow it looks stunning.
I went out in Feb and it was -10 with the wind chill but actually around 4-5 below all week. Hard outside with 12 inches of snow underfoot, fell over a fair bit with ice everywhere and had an interesting taxi ride drifting round block corners but all in all great fun.
Enjoy and defo do a bike tour if it's your first time (weather permitting) its corny but the best way to explore and get your bearings outside mid town, also see Brooklyn on foot and try and eat at Blue Smoke (ribs) and a chain called Yu Kaku (Korean BBQ).

So many good restaurants in all price ranges in that area (stayed at LES so close by) - can't wait to go back.

Must have really fucked it when I went a few weeks ago. Didn't have a great meal the entire time.
Portions huge obviously but quality of ingredients and the accompanying flavour was just poor. Even the "best pizza in NYC" was bang average.
Either our host went really wrong with her picks or standards are much lower in the States
