Pros: A magnificent park in a great city!
Cons: Can't see it all . . . ever.

Pros: Fun, fun, fun
Cons: Chaotic
Summary: New York gets cold, very cold. It also gets windy which, when it's cold, makes it colder. You can either hide under the duvet some time in December and refuse to come out until April, or you can get out and make the most of the cold.

Pros: Beautiful landscape. Close to public transportation and tourists spots. Lots of things to do.
Cons: Can be very crowded at times. Unsafe at night.
