New York in January, a month full of events did not expect

New York in January can seem cold and lonely, but nothing is further from reality. This month, in addition to being cheaper, has very fun events.

Who said New York in January is not fun? The city that never sleeps is named for something and in January, not sleeping. Although it gets colder, it is one of the best months for great prices to fly to the city, staying in a good hotel or fun activities like going to Broadway, dinner in a good restaurant or ice skating. Besides this, there are specific events that only occur in January and therefore only those of you from visiting New York in January, will be able to enjoy them. Here we go!
