🌤 Weather summary and notes
🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY: Expect a classic New York summer: hot (+24°C to +32°C) and humid. Crucial: June 18 carries a high risk of afternoon thunderstorms (75% chance), so we’ve moved you indoors to the Museum of Natural History during that window. Clothing: Lightweight, breathable fabrics (linen/cotton), comfortable walking shoes, and a compact umbrella. Hydration: Carry reusable water bottles; NYC tap water is world-class and there are fountains in Central Park and the High Line. Sun Protection: Apply SPF 30+ before the morning walks on the High Line and Brooklyn Bridge.

🎁 Souvenirs
