"One of the world’s most renowned green spaces, Central Park comprises 843 acres of rolling meadows, boulder-studded outcroppings, elm-lined walkways, manicured European-style gardens, a lake and reservoir — not to mention an outdoor theater, a memorial to John Lennon, an idyllic waterside eatery (the Loeb Boathouse) and a famous statue of Alice in Wonderland. Highlights include the 15-acre Sheep Meadow, where thousands of people lounge and play on warm days; Central Park Zoo; and the forest-like paths of the Ramble."

"Gran Eléctrica’s guacamole and margaritas are appealing at any time of year, but in the warmer months there’s even more incentive to take a trip to Dumbo. This market-driven Mexican restaurant’s garden oasis is outfitted with twinkling lights, ivy-covered walls and stunning views of the Brooklyn Bridge. Summertime is ideal for summer corn, ideally as part of the kitchen’s Esquites: New Jersey sweet corn charred over an open flame until blistered, then shaved into a bowl and mixed with chipotle mayonnaise, lime juice, Cotija cheese and pickled cilantro leaves."

"Gran Electrica is serving brunch and dinner in its charming Dumbo backyard, which is covered to protect against rain and snow. While perched under overhead heaters, order a few tacos to share and don’t skip the restaurant’s menu of tequila and mezcal cocktails. View this post on Instagram"

"One of their most popular items, the Chorizo con Papas is the perfect food to sober you back up after trying any of their 21 different tequilas."

"Located at the highest point in Wave Hill, the Wild Garden provides dramatic views of the Hudson River far below and a narrow path for exploration. Along the path you’ll find a charming Gazebo with a scenic view--a perfect place for tired little ones to relax. “As a first stop, families will be happy to walk into the gardens and encounter the expansive views and run-around-in-circles exhilaration of Wave Hill’s Great Lawn,” says Martha Gellens, a staff member at Wave Hill."

"The green, greenhouse door at Wave Hill Public Gardens in The Bronx. Located in the posh AF Riverdale neighborhood of the Bronx, Wave Hill Park is an enchanting 28-acre estate that overlooks the Hudson River and has a whole host of gardens and cultural centers for guests to enjoy. So when you’re not totally gob-smacked by the impressive views that surround you, you can always join one of the park’s many events."

"If you don’t mind a little bit of travel, check out Wave Hill, a 28-acre public outdoor museum located in the Bronx overlooking the Hudson River. If departing from Times Square to the park’s entrance at West 249th Street, it will take you about an hour by subway and 30 minutes by car. However, in less than a minute after entering, you will find yourself on beautiful and peaceful grounds."

"Just a hop, skip, and jump away from Flushing Meadows Corona Park in Queens is the Queen’s Botanical Garden. It’s a pretty impressive, 39-acre garden that evolved from a 5-acre “Gardens on Parade” exhibit that was originally part of the 1939 World’s Fair. Since then though, this is one of those best parks in NYC that has grown in size and scale – a botanical oasis that now features an Annual Garden, a Compost Site, a meadow, an arboretum (the Weeping Honeylocust andWinterhzel are my faves), a Bee Garden, the Cherry Circle and Four Seasons Border (made of Cherry Trees in honor of loved ones who have died), the Children’s Garden, the Circle Garden, the Wetland and Woodland Garden, the Unity Garden (from the original World’s Fair), Pinetum (a collection of cone-bearing trees), and more."

"If you live in Queens and you like yourself some beautiful gardens visiting this one is a no-brainer. From a wetlands garden to a cheeky little meadow you can find a wide range of botanical goodness here. And if you are looking for a place to chill and relax this is pretty much a perfect little urban get away."

"You could also check out the Queens Botanical Garden here if you are so inclined! Finally, you’ll stop in my favorite part of Queens: Flushing. Exiting the train at Main Street-Flushing is pretty much the closest thing to going to China. It’s pandemonium for the senses in all the best possible ways."

"For complete serenity, visit the peaceful Japanese Hill and Pond Garden with its pond and Shinto shrine. There are various tours and activities at the garden, so be sure to check their website for information about the day's events. If you have kids in tow, you should definitely stop by the interactive children's garden."

"A gem even among New York’s superlative botanical sites, this verdant 52-acre oasis charms with its array of “gardens within the…"

"For people looking for a laid back place to sit back and enjoy some drinks with good music on, this is probably one of the best clubs in New York City on a Sunday night. The club features varied music throughout the day, ranging from soft country music to rock music. It is open for all ages, with many events happening throughout every month."

"Situated in the former home of Silent Barn, Trans-Pecos is an all-ages show venue and community space on the increasingly buzzy Bushwick-Ridgewood border. Todd P, the pioneer of Brooklyn’s DIY scene, heads this popular spot, where weekday parties feature varied music and laid-back crowds."

"Chef Suchanan Aksornnan grew up in a province in northern Thailand, where he was exposed to the diversity of nature, which then introduced him to organic ingredients as well as local foods. As a graduate from the French Culinary Institute in New York, he combined his learnings in Thailand and his culinary training, and that is how Baoburg was born. Baoburg is a Thai restaurant known for their tasty bao buns."

"A great way to see one of the best museums in the city at the Brooklyn Museum is by taking advantage of their free admission days on the first Saturday of every month from 5 pm to 11 pm (except for the months of January and September). But if that doesn’t work out with your timeline, don’t fret as you can still enjoy the museum as they have a pay-as-you-wish admission which makes art accessible to everyone, even if you’re on a tight budget. This museum is one of the best free and cheap things to do in Brooklyn for many reasons."

"Taking place outside the Brooklyn Museum, the Brooklyn Pop-up market features a variety of homemade one-of-a-kind items. Now you can enjoy a fun trip to the museum paired with a craft fair. Location: 200 Eastern Parkway, Brooklyn, NY 11238"
