THINGS TO DO


Chill out on The High Line


What is it? A once-abandoned elevated train track that was transformed into a crazy-popular, bucolic walkway.

Why go? After years of legislation and major landscaping, the community group Friends of the High Line was able to morph the former elevated train line into a public space back in 2009. Now, people walking along the 1.45-mile park’s gardens, taking in sweet views of the Hudson, the Whitney Museum of Art plenty of pretty flowers and plants that are mostly indigenous to the region. 


Don’t miss: “Recline on the High Line’s wooden lounge chairs," suggests Dia from Bushwick. "It’s a really calming, litter-free spot of nature just above a bustling, stressed-out avenue.”

Laugh your ass off at Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre

What is it? The best improv theater in New York.

Why go? “Laugh at the AssssCat 3000 shows at UCB—the improv is some of the best in town, and they frequently get established comedians and musicians to perform, ” says Mark of the Upper West Side, and it’s true. UCB has long been home to so many incredible improv comics, and AssssCat 3000 is, deservedly, its most popular long-running show, taking place every Sunday night. Everyone from Amy Poehler and Stephen Colbert to Michael Delaney and Lena Dunham have appeared on it—not a bad deal for $10.

Don’t miss: Grab a wine or beer at the bar in the front of the group’s brand-new Hell’s Kitchen theater before the show.
