What October feels like
October gives up fewer rainy days than any other month here, and the north end of Central Park goes properly gold in the final two weeks — later than upstate, so there's no need to rush it. Everyone is outdoors; expect a wait for anything with a sidewalk table.
Expect about 6 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around.
