Check Out the Free Music

NYC is a hotbed of music festivals during the summer months. Free concerts can be found all around NYC during the the warmer season.

Park your car in a safe location you can track and get out and walk around. There’s a lot to do and see on any given day in NYC. Why not take the time to explore NYC on foot and see things from a different perspective?

The Zoos, Museums, and More

NYC’s rich culture comes alive in the summer months. Take a walk through Central Park Zoo, visit Battery Park, take a ferry ride, and check out all the special events held at some of the world’s most famous museums.
