One can certainly say that there is no ideal season to discover New York, as the most popular of the American metropolises has to offer all year round. But it should not be forgotten that the city experiences harsh winters and very hot summers. Spring can therefore be considered as the best of the seasons to enjoy an unparalleled cultural offer. The return of the sun and the pleasant temperatures are considerable allies to travel the city from one end of the city to the other, through its emblematic districts. With the arrival of spring, sites like Cdiscount Voyages offer flash sales with a 50 € discount per passenger on flights from Paris to New York and it is not uncommon to be able to fly away at the best price. Promotional codes, payment facilities (in 4 installments) are as many reasons to indulge yourself and discover New York fever (limited offer)
Dive into the heart of the major spring events
We can never say it enough, but New York, nicknamed the city that never sleeps, is lively all year round. But like many of the world's metropolises, the arrival of spring is accelerating the cultural offer and every opportunity is good to participate in a cultural and festive event, festival or event. During a trip in March, don't miss St. Patrick's Day, an opportunity to see New Yorkers of Irish descent walking the streets in traditional clothing and also to test the lively atmosphere of the pubs. A time for meetings and good-natured atmospheres. In April, Easter is celebrated in a resolutely festive way, with the Easter Parade taking place on the famous and chic 5th Avenue. The city's residents put on their best suits on various themes and march between Central Park and Manhattan's tallest buildings. A colourful event, to be enjoyed between shopping and idleness sessions in the huge urban park. The week following the Pascal weekend, we do not miss to discover Earth Day, a one-day festival dedicated to the celebration of the Earth and ecology. Travellers with an activist spirit can attend speeches by politicians, dance to the music of renowned singers or indulge in gourmet moments at stands selling organic products
America is also often associated with the big names in cinema, and in the spring film lovers have the opportunity to participate in Tribeca, an open-air film festival in southern Manhattan. Whether in terms of programming or the urban landscape around you, you are sure to be amazed
Test the excessive atmosphere of the stadiums by attending a sporting event
Americans are passionate about sports and the excitement in the stadiums is often talked about. It is always a very pleasant moment to experience during a getaway in New York and spring is a perfect time to attend a sporting event. You have to think about booking in advance before going to an NBA game, and what you decide to go to see the Brooklyn Nets or the New York Knicks. For the MLB baseball games, which are restarting this spring, we are also doing it in advance, as the brand new Yankee stadium promises to fill up very quickly. No problem if we arrive too late, we can also go to Queens to support the New York Mets
If football, soccer in American, is not the most popular sport in the USA, it is worth noting that New York has two very beautiful teams: NY City FC and NY Red Bulls and that the superb Yankee Stadium is absolutely worth seeing. It's a good thing, the MLS soccer championship also resumes in March and we have the opportunity to see some of the biggest names in world football, such as Franck Lampard and the Italian Andréa Pirlo
Go to a concert, an exhibition, a show, enjoy a vibrant cultural offer
As for culture, spring has some very beautiful moments in store for you. The legendary Madison Square Garden and Radio City Music Hall will host international music stars such as Cher, Mariah Carey, Billy Joel, Muse, The Who and Massive Attack for those who love more rock sounds. If you want to experience the fervour of Broadway musicals, there are some very beautiful posters waiting for travellers in the spring with a program of very beautiful shows that will make young and old dream, including adaptations of Walt Disney's cartoons. And for those days that are a little grey or rainy, let's not forget that New York has some of the most impressive museums in the world. Their particularity and the richness of the exhibitions are a reason in itself to come and stroll around the American megalopolis. At MoMA, in addition to the permanent collections, temporary exhibitions follow one another in the spring, with an exhibition featuring Joan Miró and another celebrating painters from the 1880-1950 period, with names such as Henri Matisse and Claude Monet. As for the Guggenheim Museums and Foundation, the arrival of the sunny days will see a variety of exhibitions, including Hilma Af Klint's abstract paintings and black and white photographs (portraits, flowers and nudes) by the American Robert Mapplethorpe, some of whose artistic heritage will remain hanging for a period of one year in the museum's modern and so poetic architecture
