Facilities
The holiday season is just starting and the prices are high. While you can still find bargains when looking for flights , you will have to settle with a hostel if your budget is limited.

Things to do
On the first Sunday of November, it’s the New York City Marathon. The event features about 35,000 athletes and millions of spectators.
The Veterans Day Parade takes place on November 11 between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. It’s a federal holiday and the banks and other public institutions are closed.
The fourth Thursday of November marks Thanksgiving and also the Thanksgiving Parade , which takes place every year between 77th Street & Central Park West and Macy’s Herald Square. Many people arrive very early in the morning (6:30 a.m.) in order to secure spots with good view.
During November, the fall foliage is at its peak. Enjoy it in Central Park or rent a car and take a road trip in the state.
A variety of street fairs and festivals take place in November in New York. The 6th Avenue Autumn Fair , the University Place Fall Fair , and the Times Sq. Holiday Fair are just some of them.
Although you’ll probably be busy with all the fairs and parades, you should find some time to explore the museums and take a ferry ride to Ellis Island .
