New York in December?

[Araich]

What's NY city like in December? Do many of the galleries shutdown? Is it freezing cold? Does it snow? Is it expensive as a tourist at that time?

I had been in NY early december 2000.

It could freeze very cold especially when it's wendy, but then the sky is blue and walking through the city could be an unforgetable moment.
On the other hand, be conscious that daylight is only from 8am till 5pm. as a tourist, this could be unconvenient.

And of course, travel costs at christmas time are much higher than 2/3 weeks before.
