Spring brings warmer temperatures, the start of baseball season in the Bronx and Queens and a palpable sense of optimism on the streets and sidewalks as residents shed their winter coats. It’s your chance to admire cherry blossoms at botanic gardens, take nature-filled walks in Central Park and Prospect Park and—like a true New Yorker—enjoy a long, lazy brunch at an outdoor table.

Everywhere you turn during summer in New York City, something exciting is happening. There are free outdoor concerts and Shakespeare in the Park. It’s a great time to catch a baseball game or US Open tennis matches, walk the High Line in short sleeves, spot animals at the Bronx Zoo or ride on the wooden tracks of Coney Island's Cyclone roller coaster—still thrilling after all these years.
