I LOVE how you use Celsius as well. From everyone outside of USA, thank you!

[@Little-dv8xi]

I'm 40 years a NYer, artist and sportwear designer. We wear whatever is comfortable to walk miles of concrete at any given moment. Yes, running shoes are ideal. The way I know a tourist is by their effort to be fashionable, often over function...yeah, those fashion shoes and trench coats are dead give aways. But that said, visitors are welcome in whatever they're wearing.. they bless our town with their presence, help us see it with new eyes, and remind us that we're lucky to live here.

[@shareced7651]

If you want to dress up or you’re into fashion, this guide is nice. If not, don’t worry about it, people wear everything here. When coming to NYC be you and comfortable. There is a lot of walking, about 3-5 miles a day. I wear regular street clothes and running shoes(except winter), almost everyone else does as well. When going out at night or dressing up, bringing shoes to change into (as Sarah said) is helpful

[@audiophilesallowed6479]

Gotta agree. I’ve been to NYC 7 times, and am heading that way again in a few months. I really don’t care if I look like a NY’er.

[@TMAItalia]

Sarah, this was such a stylish video, I love New York, and this video will help us be prepared when we come. You and Loui look so amazing and stylish, this will be helpful to my husband as well!

[@shareced7651]

I live here in NYC. For winter I wear thermal underwear (under my clothes) and a down coat, which is perfect. You stay warm and the down coat is light weight, which makes it easy to carry if you get too warm. When your walking around, doing stairs and that sun comes out 😬you tend to warm up quick. Especially in the subway

[@elizabethyanes5065]

UGH love those white boots! great video Sarah :)

[@dorisq9241]

Thank you! It was a great video and thanks for the timeline.

[@jaysaarriba9702]

Hi Sarah I’ve been following you for awhile now. I hope you create a video about the holidays, like events and things to do during Christmas until New Year’s Day. Thanks!

great episode. thanks

Your tips helped me with having a wonderful trip to NYC!

[@SarahFunky]

Hi Kevin! That's awesome to hear, I'm so glad!

[@cinephile1712]

Allbirds are a great shoe for anyone to wear, too - super comfortable, eco friendly, and you don’t have to worry about the running shoe look since so many people have them. Layering’s a must for any travel and you can never go wrong with black basics. Note for summertime: the heat and humidity make nearly every part of NYC smell like pee and trash. Yay!

[@wrapped_upinbooks]

Yay! I’ve watched your past videos on this Sarah. I’m visiting in November and I need help figuring out how much warm things to bring. Weather is so unpredictable

[@shareced7651]

Sarah has a video link below ”how to dress for winter”, which goes over mid Nov-Feb. I live here in NYC and I would recommend an umbrella, a down coat and thermal underwear for under your clothes. The down coat is perfect because it’s light weight, which makes it easy to carry if you get too warm. When your walking around, doing stairs and the sun comes out 😬 you tend to warm up fast. Especially in the subway. Also don’t forget to check the weather in the morning before going out, it’s always changing!

[@scottman895]

You summed up September perfectly because that was the weather I had when I went to NYC early last month! The weather in September was absolutely perfect. With all the walking you do in NYC, one tip I will share too is to also wear a very good pair of socks especially when wearing sneakers. When I do a lot of walking even in a city, I will wear hiking socks to help reduce the chances of getting blisters on my feet. This is a great guide!

[@steffjalv1340]

Very useful! Thank you for putting the temperature also in C•Celsius! 🙌🏼

Can you do an updated 2-3 day itinerary for Brooklyn/Dumbo vacation?!!

[@danielp.52]

Hi Sarah, I didn't know your husband was also a top model! LOL

[@MRP3261]

I wear work boots all the time. Working. Fishing etc. I like wearing short sleeve shirts and shorts all the time. Late fall, Early Winter oh well have to wear pants and a vest and a coat. Hats I have to wear my NY RANGERS Hat. When it comes to the weather it varies very fast. Cold and snowy in the winter to hot and humid to a Severe Thunderstorm in the Spring Summer and early Fall.

[@glennsimbre]

You're the best, Sarah! 🤩 I'll keep all these fashion advice handy once I get the chance to visit NYC soon! 🗽💗🎉

hi Sarah- what coat would you suggest for end of March-early April? should i bring a peacoat and a trench? thanks so much in advance!

[@ummeonika2751]

Lived in nyc for 6 year but still need this video 🙃

[@SarahFunky]

Glad it's helpful!

[@Enchanteralle]

I will be visiting in late April. Does it rain more in the beginning, middle, or end of April?

[@claramarievlogs]

Hey Sarah! you should check out Churrascaria Plataforma which is a brazilian steakhouse in the NYC theatre district! You could even do a video on it?

[@lizef5195]

Damn Gina, the outfit with the satin looking blue skirt. 👌👌👌

[@ohwowjavi]

How does Sarah not have 1M followers????

[@audiophilesallowed6479]

Maybe it’s the judgemental commentary??? Just a hunch. If I wanted fashion advice, I’d follow a fashion KZbinr.

[@genooj71]

Should DEFINITELY do a re shoot on guide videos for after pandemic on what's available and what's not.

[@SarahFunky]

Good suggestion. Thank you!

[@genooj71]

@@SarahFunky no worries LOL i have a NY play list saved from your videos. ill be traveling to NY for 8 days and just trying to see whats available or shutdown from all your Vids

[@eddylui366]

Do I wear jeans with short sleeve shirt in early June and is early week of June that hot?

[@erickjerland1281]

I know how to dress for the different season. The in weather in Chicago is similar to NY. Chicago is a little colder in the winter. I’m going to NY next week. I want to check out summit one Vanderbilt. Any Halloween tours let me know please.

[@WhoCaresAlisha]

I am traveling to NYC in June. I'm from the Gulf Coast and that sounds kinda cold lol

[@jeanettemendoza7403]

We’re visiting the week after thanksgiving, first week of December. Can we still get away with a peacoat and layers? Or plan for a warm winter jacket. Not sure when the temp starts to drop. Thanks for the video!!

[@SarahFunky]

Hi Jeanette! You could bring both! December can be unpredictable at times, and be on either the mild side or really cold, so it's definitely better to be prepared. I would still recommend a warmer winter jacket.

[@tejanikerroumi9633]

If I am going from to NY 11/25-11/30 would a triple FAT goose and long jons be necessary?

Great video

[@SarahFunky]

Thanks so much for watching! Glad you enjoyed it

[@melaniegriesemer]

I’ve seen so many ads for Rothys and have been wanting to try them out! Was wondering if they would be comfortable for walking long distances in NYC

[@shareced7651]

Sarah says in her video she wears them while doing tours with no problem. Keep in mind there is a lot of walking around, about 3-5 miles a day. I live here in NYC and wear running shoes, almost everyone else does as well 😉 dress comfortable! No one will judge you

[@melaniegriesemer]

@@shareced7651 that’s the absolute best thing about living in NYC, at the end of the day there are NO rules for how to dress or who to be ❤️ just be comfortable in whatever that is for you! I learned the hard way though, when I used to work one of my jobs I would wear these really thin sole black farragamo flats - they were comfy for the time but it would cause so many issues being on my feet and with my long walks after work 😩🤦🏻‍♀️

[@shareced7651]

@@melaniegriesemer totally agree! I wasn’t sure if you lived here in NYC or not 😉 gotcha 💗

[@melaniegriesemer]

@@shareced7651 oh yes I forgot to mention I USED to live in NYC, now FL so it doesn’t matter as much about footwear since you drive everywhere here anyway 😅

I just wear black and add or remove layers of black as needed.

[@stephaniegutierrez9942]

Do we still need a heavy coat if we visit NYC during the first week of December?

[@viktorianagy964]

YES!

[@shareced7651]

A down coat is perfect. It keeps you warm and it’s light weight to carry if you get too warm. I even rolled mine up and put it in my bag 😉

[@SarahFunky]

Hi Stephanie! December can sometimes be unpredictable and be somewhat mild or really cold, so it's definitely better to be prepared. I would still recommend a warmer/heavier winter jacket.

[@kelsosnacks]

When sightseeing in winter, do you just carry your coat around inside places? Seems like a heavy burden 😩

[@SarahFunky]

Hi Kelsey! Usually, yes. But some spots do have coat checks.

[@Arthurm25]

@Sarah Funk can i talk with you ?

[@joeydego2]

I’d start with some body armor and nothing you don’t want the ER staff to see.

[@amandagoodman1272]

How about we all avoid unethical Canada Goose coats until they stop murdering coyotes for the stupid fur-trimmed hoods? Also down is cruel as well - try a cool but warm brand like Save the Duck? I have a wonderful long chic winter coat from them from a NYC sample sale at Chelsea Market 😎

[@brianhurt3271]

You both have careers as models if you want.
