The New York Yankees, 27-Time World Series Champions, and likely the most simultaneously loved and hated team in baseball, return to Yankee Stadium with our Captain, Aaron Judge, pitcher Gerrit Cole and shortstop Anthony Volpe. There are few things in NYC better than a Yankee game, an old-fashioned hot dog and a beer.

June 20–30, 2023
The Met’s annual concerts in New York City parks is a great city tradition. The Met’s popular Summer Recital Series in New York City parks kicks off the New York summer season with six free outdoor recitals, featuring established artists and young talents of the opera world, to New Yorkers in all five boroughs starting Tuesday, June 20. The series, now in its 14th year, has become an operatic summer tradition. Presented in collaboration with Capital One City Parks Foundation SummerStage, the series will start at Central Park SummerStage (Manhattan) on Tuesday, June 20, at 8PM, and then at Brooklyn Bridge Park (Brooklyn) on Friday, June 23, at 7PM.
Two of our absolute best summer restaurants are open. You can’t go wrong with either Grand Banks Oyster Bar or The Frying Plan.

We often plan these listings in advance, and may not be aware of current weather, health or other occurences, so please check all activities in advance of attending.
