Best New York City Events Activities Calendar
NYC Events – Insider Top Picks by Month
Our New York City events calendar highlights the BEST of NYC’s annual holiday celebrations, parades, festivals, shopping and sample sales and much more. Many of these New York City events are not in your tourist guides or the lobby of your hotel (really cool things don’t get advertised, they are published and spread by word of mouth). However, NYC events are easily found online, in our local magazines and papers, spread by word of mouth and in dozens of email lists, some very secret.
I actually already gave away some of my secrets by showing you my favorite New York City Sites. Since I regularly read all these lists and sites, here are the top New York City Event choices by month. I hope they will keep you from scouring the internet, because, if you’re like me, you don’t want to spend more time planning your vacation than actually being on it!

“Hello Melissa! We LOVE your NYC Insider Print Package!! There is so much helpful information included, we are thrilled! We love the maps, the easy to follow format, the neighborhood descriptions, the attractions information, even the warm, friendly opening that you wrote! ;))) I have been to NYC on a day bus tour, but have never navigated myself, nor stayed in the city. In July, my husband and I will be celebrating our 28 years of marriage and we planned a trip to NYC together!! He has never been. We are both excited to stay in the city! We are, however, a bit nervous. We are just two “country bumpkins” from the Eastern Shore of Virginia (with open minds!) Γ°ΕΈΛβ°. Your guides have already made us feel more comfortable about our trip. We are so excited to see and feel the energy of NYC!! ;))))) Thank you for a great guide and for giving us the information needed to feel like we have a little “insider scoop!” It’s great! – Jayanne ”
