About the location

Finally! It's what most of us say when the summer is back. In this guide I curated the best places to stay, activities to do and where to go when visiting NYC that encompasses everything summer and outdoors! New Yorkers, for the  most part are very active in the summer months-more so than usual. With only getting to experience the warmer temps for a limited time, the city takes full advantage of every outdoor space, roof and park available to us. In here you'll find the latest pop-up seasonal spots, rooftop views, outdoor dinning, exciting activities and the best of the 1,700 parks that the city has to offer.
