The semester is winding down; the weather is getting warmer, so we're dedicating this post to spring/summer in NYC. What are your plans this summer? Whether you're still in class or taking some time off, if you're sticking around NYC try visiting the following places:
Bronx Zoo - Get in touch with nature and grab some friends for a trip to the zoo. It's a fun and relaxing way to get out of the city and get your mind off of stressful schoolwork. Visit the zoo's website to find out more about special attractions this summer.
Central Park - Pack a lunch, grab your books, and study outside this summer! Or if you want to visit the park for a live concert, view the schedule at: http://www.cityparksfoundation.org/calendar/.
Check out one of the food vendors at the High Line! The High Line’s food vendors are open daily on the High between Little West 12th and West 18th Streets. All food vendors are open! Vendors include: Blue Bottle Coffee, Delaney Barbecue’s SmokeLine, La Newyorkina, L’Arte del Gelato, Melt Bakery, People’s Pops, Sigmund’s Pretzels, and The Taco Truck, as well as Terroir at The Porch. Yummy!
We hope the rest of your semester goes well.

Winter Break is around the corner. You have been working hard studying for finals so treat yourself to some local fun in NYC!
If you’re not going abroad or going home for winter break - don't worry! There are still fun things to do right here in New York. Here are some suggestions:
Time Out New York is a great magazine for all things NYC. Check out their website and browse about everything from restaurants to arts and culture of NYC. Since it is winter break check out the holiday lights and decorations all over the city at these locations.
Ice Skating - Gather some friends and go ice skating at Central Park, Prospect Park or at Rockefeller Center. Learn more here. It is a fun activity to engage in with your friends all while you get some exercise!
