There is so much to do in the summer in New York City. I’ve already shared my summer bucket list and I wanted to follow up with some of my favorite activities.
Today I shared a travel guide video with some of my recommendations. As per my video, I’m including a few more ideas here!
MOVIES IN THE PARK: Several parks in the city show movies on summer nights. The most well known is Bryant Park, offering movies every Monday through August. The NYC Parks Department lists all the options here.
ICE CREAM SHOPS: My summer guide video could have easily become a ice cream recommendations video so I decided to not share any options in the video but include them all here! My favorite ice cream shops (in no particular order) are Emack & Bolio’s [two blocks from my old apartment on the UES!], Milk & Cereal Bar, Gelato & Co, Forty Carrots [froyo], and Chloe’s Soft Serve [fruit based/non-dairy option].
YOGA: Bryant Park offers free yoga on Tuesday mornings and Thursday nights all summer. Mats included as long as you sign up!
ROOFTOP BARS: There are a plethora of rooftop options. I love 230 Fifth and Loopy Doopy [they serve prosecco with popsicles!]
SHAKESPEARE IN THE PARK: Joe and I finally got to attend one of these shows last summer. It was phenomenal! You can enter the lottery through TodayTix or wait in line at the park. Tickets are free for all!
PICNICS: Picnics in Central Park, Bryant Park and Prospect Park are one of my favorite ways to spend a summer evening.
