Your body and those of your family are not adapted to the climate difference, you bundle up at 60, while here in NYC 50 is still light jacket weather because we re used to the cold. Just bring what you know will keep you warm. In your case, it d probably be a heavy jacket and some thick gloves. just don t be surprised if you see one of us walking around in a thin sweater while you re shivering.
My friend, first of all it can get cold in mid December. Temperatures in the city can rage from the low 30s to the low 40s, which is a lot colder than in Florida. Therefore, I would recommend packing plenty of warm clothes. For example, jackets, sweaters, hat and gloves. In regards to tours, may I recommend Grey Line Sightseeing Tours, which is one of the best in the City. Its not a walking tour, it a bus tour.

I would say it will probably be cold. I live in Maryland and our weather is about the same. Some winters it is freezing other it not.. Be prepare for all kinds of weather including SNOW and lots of it.
