Vaccinated Germans should be able to travel to the USA again from November. For travel reporter Christina Mänz, that was exactly what she was looking for. Because for them New York is best in November anyway. Why? She tells you that:

Before Corona, I had a date with my beloved New York every November. I sat in the Bubby’s on the corner of Gansevoort and Washington Street, with pumpkin pie and black coffee and the comforting feeling that at this very moment everything is good as it is …

Every year, in November, when folk mourning sadness and the first holiday panic attacks roll over Germany, I’m gone. New York is the self-imposed destination. A panacea at the end of the year! This fabulous microcosm with its people, which sometimes gets on my mind, but never gets out of my mind. That inspires and irritates me, charges and revives me … Even the anticipation of New York in November is like a psychedelic high without the influence of drugs!

Central Park shines in fall colors in November

The last rays of sunshine, the first Christmas feelings: the city is simply irresistible in late autumn – and insanely sensual. When the stuffy summer smell has long since made its way out of the dust, the biting wind whistles through the avenues, the sky is in the rich Yves Klein blue over the metropolis, the last leaves in Central Park shimmer in the most beautiful red and yellow tones … .

When homemade apple cider and pumpkins from the region are on offer at the numerous farmers’ markets and ice skaters on the Wollman Rink turn their curves … Then, yes, a melancholy, almost nostalgic mood enchants hectic Manhattan.
