| What Time Does It Get Dark In Nyc In November |
It's Getting Dark Early, Folks!
Let's be honest, November in NYC is like that overprotective mom who tucks you in at 7 PM. The sun, our celestial overlord, decides to take a prolonged vacation around this time. By the time you've finished your pumpkin spice latte and a slice of pizza (mandatory NYC combo), the city starts to don its evening attire.
Expect darkness to creep in around 4:30 PM to 4:45 PM. But don't quote me on that. The sun's got a mind of its own, and it might decide to pull a fast one on you. Maybe it's trying to build suspense for the holiday lights? Who knows!
QuickTip: Pause when something feels important.
