Lunch and dinner in New York City is so much more than having a meal, it is an overall experience. 

New Yorkers know how to have "dinner and a movie," "dinner and a play," and "dinner and the opera." They have even coined the time slot terms such as, "and early dinner and then a show," or "an early movie and a late dinner." 

Early November is when autumn is in full swing in New York City with its crisp cool air and the vibrant colors of the trees throughout the city's boroughs. This is the time of year that the New York City Marathon is held.
