New York features numerous parks open to the public, such as Central Park, Madison Square Park, Riverside Park, The High Line, Washington Square Park, etc. If you’re back in the city from summer, you can remind yourself of what it feels like to chill in the park and engage in various activities such as boat rides, bike rides, etc.

The U.S. Tennis Open

The U.S. Tennis Open is not only the most popular NYC event during Labor Day but also the biggest sporting event in NYC for the entire year. So feel free to get tickets and enjoy the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center atmosphere. With bug events like this, it can be hard to find parking.
