Question for HNers from NYC: when would be a good time to visit? I was planning to spend November there (hostels and/or airbnb) but put that off when the hurricane hit. All the official tourism sites are saying "business as usual" but that seems at odds with the thousands of displaced people and the TV footage of cleanup in Queens. Surely there's an accommodation shortage and many tired locals who don't want tourists running around? Would I be nuts to visit in December?
