Sunset Wednesdays at Wave Hill
Experience summer at its best—concerts by NYC-based musicians on the Great Lawn while the sun sets over the Hudson River and Palisades, an expansive landscape of rolling lawns and gorgeous formal gardens, fresh river breezes, yoga, guided “Welcome Walks” and cutting-edge art in Glyndor Gallery.

Aug. 15-21. First Annual Harlem-Havana Cultural Exchange
The movement to normalize relations between the U.S. and Cuba is coming to Harlem this summer: from August 15-21, the first annual Harlem/Havana Music & Cultural Festival will bring Cuban musicians, artists, dancers, chefs, educators, and more to New York as part of Harlem Week 2016.
TKTS Comes to Lincoln Center
Upper West Siders rejoice. Now you can pick up discounted theater tickets at a pop-up TKTS booth at its David Rubenstein Atrium.
