  • A Summer of Surprises in the City That Never Sleeps

    A Summer of Surprises in the City That Never Sleeps
    Jul 27 2025
    Whether it’s your first time in New York City or you think you know every corner, the city’s calendar and neighborhoods offer endless surprises and excitement, especially in late July. For something immediately immersive, join the annual Summer Streets celebration, which this year marks New York City's 400th anniversary. Every Saturday through August, hundreds of city blocks become car-free, transforming into playgrounds with pop-up performances, interactive art, fitness classes, and street food kiosks; on August 2, the event lands in Manhattan with live entertainment and free Citi Bike Day Passes available through the Lyft app with the promo code LYFTSUMMER25, as NYC.gov reports. Walking or biking these stretches lets listeners experience New York’s street culture at its most joyful and communal.

    Central Park, a timeless escape in the city’s heart, remains unmatched for versatility and vibrance. Try boating on the Lake, catch a free Shakespeare in the Park performance if you can grab a last-minute ticket, or stretch out on the Sheep Meadow with a picnic and skyline view. For something more curated, head to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, which stays open until 9 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays this summer—its Costume Institute always has something jaw-dropping, and the Met Roof Bar offers panoramic sunset views.

    Those looking for music are in luck this week. Songkick’s event listings highlight Femi Kuti & The Positive Force and dead prez performing at SummerStage in Central Park today at 6 p.m., an electrifying blend of Afrobeat and hip-hop in the open air. Down in Brooklyn, Brooklyn Bowl hosts RJD2 with a live band, perfect for those wanting a more intimate, groove-heavy concert. On the jazzier side, Bria Skonberg is at Birdland Theater this weekend—a chance to soak up world-class horns in a classic NY setting. For gospel that lifts the spirit, the Harlem Gospel Choir brings soulful power to their standing Sunday show at Sony Hall.

    No trip is complete without seeing the city from above. The Empire State Building offers a quintessential 360-degree observation deck, but Top of the Rock at Rockefeller Center is a strong rival with its art deco flair and jaw-dropping views of Central Park, especially around sunset. For an offbeat architectural adventure, take the subway to Roosevelt Island and ride the aerial tram—an affordable thrill with skyline panoramas and a distinctly local flavor.

    Outdoor adventurers can walk or rent bikes along the High Line, a one-of-a-kind elevated park built atop a freight railway, filled with gardens, sculptures, and pop-up performances as recommended by Tripadvisor. Crossing the Brooklyn Bridge at dusk lets you watch the skyline bathe in golden hour light, historic towers rising above the East River. In Riverside Park South on August 16, Summer on the Hudson’s FlyNYC festival fills the skies with kites and live music, offering free kite kits for kids.

    For food, skip the chains and follow the locals to Chinatown for soup dumplings or try a sake-tasting tour at Brooklyn Kura Brewery in Industry City, with walk-in tours running this weekend. Smorgasburg in Williamsburg remains a must for foodies; the open-air market features small-batch donuts, ramen burgers, and fish tacos every Saturday.

    Art hunters seeking something unusual should check out the ephemeral public installations along Summer Streets routes, with inflatable sculptures and interactive pieces brightening up unexpected corners. The New York Botanical Garden in the Bronx currently features “Van Gogh’s Flowers,” combining masterful horticulture with digital art exhibits, open daily this month.

    Sports lovers can catch the Yankees at home in the Bronx, or experience the Premier League Summer Series on July 27 at MetLife Stadium for those craving international soccer. For a wild card, try the Backdoor Barbecue improv and music night at PIT Loft, which blends comedy and live jams in a basement theater—a true New Yorker night out.

    Each neighborhood sparks with its own rhythm. As Harlem Week kicks off August 1 through August 17, uptown fills with parades, outdoor dance parties, and jazz celebrations, embracing the history and culture of the community. Meanwhile, Times Square buzzes day and night, but the real secret is catching an early morning stroll for that rare hush before the city wakes up.
