Fun Outdoor Activities to do in NYC

Okay, so with the warm weather approaching, there are a lot of fun and cheap activities to spend your time doing outside. I know most people think that because we live in this gigantic city of tall buildings and cement that there isn't any fun things to do besides walk around and go to Central Park, but there is more!!! So pull out your paper and pen and jot some of these ideas down, so you will be ready and prepared for the sweet Spring-time weather that is soon approaching!

New York City Greenmarkets
Yes, in New York City there are actual farmers markets, complete with farm fresh produce, flowers, meats and more, which are all available for sale at Greenmarkets. These FAB markets are scattered throughout the city, but one of the most popular market is located in Union Square and it is a must to put on your list!

Bryant Park 2003 Film Screenings
Every Monday night during the summer, you can see great films for free in Bryant Park. Okay, so the summer might seem far off right now, but it will be here before you know it and how amazing is this? Click the link to check out the schedule!

Outdoor Summer Concerts
From Bryant Park and Lincoln Center to Prospect and Central Parks, there are musical performances (many outdoors and many free!!!!!) throughout the summer (don't worry it will be here before you know it.) Find a listing of ongoing performances by clicking the link and to see which concerts are FREE...now that is music to my ears!

Coney Island
This is a must! Even if your not into eating a famous Nathan's hotdog and going on a roller coaster ride, it's super fun to just walk around and take in all of the sights and people! It's a fun place to spend the day and it doesn't involve a lot of $$$$$ also, check out the Mermaid Parade for some summer thrills by clicking the link!

This should get you started...I will return with more ideas and suggestions! Hopefully this Spring and Summer talk will bring the warm weather quicker!

Enjoy and keep budgeting your $$$$

I've been to the farmer's market in Union Square and it is fabulous! I highly recommend it! I've never been to Coney Island so I'm going to have to check it out!

Isn't the market great! Yeah, Coney Island seems fun and it's good to get out there and do something different. It would be a great way to spend the day!! Who wouldn't want to feel like a kid again!
