Ducking out of the busy city may seem like the way to go for summer’s last romp, but why not spend the long weekend soaking up more than the sun — and enjoying what’s in our own backyard? NYC has a lot to offer you Webster ladies this Labor Day weekend, and we picked some of the top places to go, things to eat, and more that we’re sure you’ll want to check out.
EAT AND DRINK
As long as a burger and cocktail are in hand, summer lives on in our book. According to Time Out NYC, these are the places you don’t want to miss this weekend:
- Black Tap: Craft Burgers & Beer
- The Bonnie
- Chefs Club by Food & Wine
See the full list here.
EXPORE YOUR CITY
You don’t have to completely jump ship to get out of NYC, but you can hop on a quick train and find yourself immersed in a completely different setting than our beloved concrete jungle.
- Visit the MET: We suggest you also head to the rooftop to enjoy cocktails, NYC’s skyline and what temporary exhibitions they’re hosting.
- Head to BK: If you don’t mind crowds, Coney Island’s Luna Park is certainly a bucket list item for any New Yorker. Deep-fried goodness + rides? Sign us up.
- Explore Governor’s Island: Hop on a ferry and explore the recently developed 172-acre island in the heart of NYC. You can even rent a Citi Bike for your adventure.
