A few years ago, David and I made our first trip New York City together to celebrate David’s birthday. While we had both been to New York City separately, it was our first trip together and we had a great time. We love New York City any time, though it was especially lovely during the fall! For our trip, we packed outfits that would transition for warmer days and cooler evenings. Keep scrolling to see our packing list for New York City in the fall.
