Fall 2011: Avoiding the crowds
I am trying to time my next trip to the city for Fall 2011 so that I avoid weeks of massive events like fashion week or the U.N. General Assembly. At this point I am thinking mid-October. Anyone know if there are any particular days to avoid?

Stay away from the Times Square area. Columbus Day and Halloween weekends will likely be busier but October is a popular time with NYC as the weather is generally warm but not at all hot. I would suggest looking at hotels south of 34 street but above SoHo.

I lived in the city for many years so many I should have phrased my question differently. The problem seems to be that every time I'm in town, somebody says ---- "Oh, didn't you know this was _____ week? That's why you cant find a _____."
It would be nice if there were some kind of master calendar listing the major events so that I could plan accordingly.
Interesting comment about Halloween though; it never would have occurred to me that it had any impact whatsoever.
