What November feels like

November is the underrated one — tourist season is over, the museums are quiet again, and the light stays gorgeous right up until the time change makes everything dark by five. Thanksgiving week empties the city out entirely, which is your window if an empty Mall appeals.

Expect about 5 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around. The air runs dry — whatever the thermometer says, it wears easy.
