• From April 16th - 27th enjoy
watching some creative, eye-
gripping films at Bow Tie Cinemas
in Chelsea.
• But, Robert DeNiro’s Tribeca Film
Festival has so much more than just
films.
• There is an ESPN Sports Film
Festival, a Family Festival Street Fair
and various Tribeca Talks, that
provide free panels for aspiring
filmmakers.
• So grab a date, or film guru and hit
the theatre in late April!

• With warm weather finally on its way in NYC it’s time to get outside and on the river.
• So hop on the East River ferry and make your way to the Hudson on an afternoon filled
with laughter, dancing, and drinks on a ferry bar crawl.
• This is a great activity to do with a group of friends if you’re celebrating a graduation,
job promotion, or even a birthday.

• What better way to save money on a
fancy dinner downtown than to grab
some hotdogs and hamburgers from
your local market and make your way
to Brooklyn Bridge Park, where you
can grill right on the waterfront for
free.
• Plus, if you go on a Sunday you’ll
have the luxury of being amidst
Schmorgesborg, the king of brooklyn
flea markets.

• For just a small fee, spend a day in the NY Botanical Garden
and enjoy the beauty of nature at the Orchid Show until April
21st.
• This aerial display of orchids is unlike any other and the event
includes dance performances, poetry, and orchid care
demonstrations.
• On certain nights, you can even participate in Orchid Evenings,
and walk around the orchid escape with a date at sunset.
