Lovely factory - very unique and worth a visit! We had a chance to visit the factory during off hours. It's a lovely little factory that produces nice works. My mother is a batik artist and we've seen batik all over the world so we were happy to be able to see it.
The best time to visit New York, weather-wise, is the spring season (April-June) or late summer and early autumn months (September and October) with temperatures ranging from 50 to 64 degrees Fahrenheit. However, bear in mind that spring and autumn are traditionally the most crowded and expensive months of the year.
A visit to one of the best New York beaches is a great way to cool off during the city's sticky summer. The best part: They're some of the best free things to do. Jump on the subway and visit these spots for some much needed weekend getaways. Or if you'd like to go farther out, see our list of off-the-beaten-track beaches, all an hour away or less.
