WOW. What an astonishing wealth of activities! Is there any other city like this in the world? No wonder y'all love it so.
ReplyDeleteSo much good stuff happening, thanks for putting it all in one place. I'll make plans for my favorites, but the beauty of New York in the summer is unexpectedly walking by a fantastic performance on your way to somewhere else. Some of the ones I'm looking forward to catching: Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings, Kronos Quartet, Beth Orton, Bang on a Can Marathon, and all the stuff at Lincoln Center Out of Doors and Mid Summer Night's Swing.
