What To Do in New York City This Spring

31 Mar

For those of you who caught my post “Heading to New York This Winter? Check Out the Things to Do,” you’ll know about the TimeOut New York list of things to do.  For those of you who did not catch that post and have a spring trip planned, you’ll want to take note.  Because, if there is one word that I could use to describe the list, it would be “variety.”

Now, they’re back at it again with the TONY list of “101 things to do in New York City this spring.”  A sampling: #3 – See art at the Socrates Sculpture Park; #8 – Drink on rooftops; #9 – Stroll the Brooklyn Heights Promenade; #15 – Have ice cream for dinner; #16 – People-watch on the Met’s front steps; and #51 – Go on a flea market crawl.  There really is something for everyone and many of the suggestions don’t cost a dime.  And, you’ll find links to all of the venues to make planning a breeze.

And speaking of not costing a dime, this time around there’s a separate page dedicated to all things free: 300 Free things to do in New York City.  Organized into categories, such as Free recreational activities, Free tours, Free lessons, No-cover music venues, and Free movies, this is your definitive guide to a cheaper day (or stay) in the Big Apple.

Should you have a yearning to see some excellent theater this season, read Broadway’s Spring Awakening… There are a host of not-to-be-missed performances in both new musicals and new plays.

Enjoy!

Heading to New York This Winter? Check Out the Things to Do.

10 Dec

TimeOut New York has posted their list of 101 things to do in New York City this winter.  The editors suggest an amazingly wide variety of activities, including: going to see the Grand Central Terminal Kaleidoscope Show; sampling the tastes at City Bakery’s Hot Chocolate Festival (who knew!); attending one of the city’s many Christmas concerts; indulging in cider and donuts at the Shake Shack; checking out the Bronx Zoo’s Wild Winterland; and taking a bus tour of the holiday windows in Manhattan or Brooklyn.  There’s museums, fairs, flea markets, skating…  With 101 things, there’s bound to be at least one that you’ve never thought of and, once you’ve heard about it, you can’t wait to do.

And if you haven’t already, before you go make sure to view my list of what’s on Broadway this winter.

Happy Holidays and Happy Travels!
