You in the Big Apple Today? Feast Your Eyes on This! ** (But Maybe Not Literally, Unless It's a Food Event)
So, you find yourself in the concrete jungle where dreams are made of... and also where hot dog stands release questionable-looking odors. But hey, that's all part of the New York charm, right? The only question remaining is: what chaotic fun can you get yourself into today?
Fear not, weary traveler (or resident New Yorker who needs a break from the usual routine), for I, your trusty guide through the urban labyrinth, am here to present...
A Hilariously Incomplete List of Events (Because Seriously, There's Always Something Going On)
QuickTip: Don’t just consume — reflect.
- Greenmarket Extravaganza! Get your locally-sourced kale fix (or, you know, actual delicious things) at one of the many farmers markets scattered throughout the city. Bonus points for bargaining with a sassy grandma over the price of artisanal cheese.
- Museum Mile Mumble Jumble: If you're feeling fancy, hit up the museums lining Fifth Avenue. Just be prepared to explain to your significant other why that abstract sculpture you spent 20 minutes analyzing definitely looks like a dog wearing a lampshade. Pro tip: Pack snacks because those museum cafes are highway robbery.
- Catch a Broadway Show (Unless You're Broke): Maybe you'll snag some balcony seats for a classic, or perhaps you'll risk it on a brand new, totally-not-going-to-flop musical about... uh... the history of garbage disposal? The possibilities are endless (and sometimes terrifying)! Just remember, the ushers judge you if you bring your own snacks. Don't be that guy.
- Wander Central Park Like a Boss: Rent a bike, have a picnic (avoid suspiciously-placed hot dogs though!), or just people-watch and soak up the atmosphere. There's a 90% chance you'll encounter a breakdancer, a yoga class, and a child wielding a balloon animal shaped like something questionable. Just another day in the park!
