+ New York Event Schedule +

Let’s get this started! There is many things that we may end up doing, some may even turn out to happen spur of the moment. Listed below I posted the events that we will probably be doing. Some things are repeated since it depends on our mood that day.

+ NY Weather +

Fortunately for Phan, going to NY at this time is probably the hottest NY will ever get. I have to warn everyone though that the weather here has been having a lot of showers this year.

Also the humidity in NY, especially in the Subway can get pretty nasty.. if your worried about your hair frizzing out you better stock up on some nice hair products too!

Usually the weather tempature in July floats around 78-95F(25.5-35C). Sometimes it can get hotter, but what makes the weather feel nasty is the humidity, not so much the heat.

If you’d like to see the monthly forecast prediction feel free to check here:
Metric System Forecast

What to bring: Umbrella/Jacket with a hood. Should be expecting random showers/thunder showers
What to pack: Hair products to fight frizz(optional), clothing fabric like cotton(easier to breathe in for humidity). PLS don’t forget deodorant(edit: removed comment )

+ NY Fashion Trends +

Curious of what the behavior is here? What is the trendy clothing going on in America these days? Where is some nice food?

Just in case you’ve been living under a rock in NY- or better yet living in Brasil all your life, have no fear! By all means I must admit i’m a bit weak when it comes to food, so we will need to depend on miss yumi’s suave help here.  Expect her expertise to be helping you along with popular food places to hit while we are in NY.

But for right now, my sister has added some great insight for what is popular to wear in NY. Maybe you can even invest in an outfit or two yourself!

+ History of NY +

Compliments of tripadvisor.com. There’s no need to read this, but its just nice general information. We will already be having a tourism of some sort the first time we visit the city.

Here I will post the information- bus schedule etc that will be used for maryland. Also here will talk about otakon in general
