What to do in New York this weekend

Highlight of the month

Baseball: New York Yankees

Baseball: New York Yankees Baseball season has finally arrived in NY! Here’s everything you need to know about Yankee Stadium and how to get your tickets for a Yankees game.

Do you want to know what there is to do in New York this weekend? Take a look below where you can find an overview of weekend activities in the city. For example, catch a sports game. Almost every weekend throughout the year there’s a range of sports games on and the atmosphere in the stadiums is always awesome! Feel like some music? There is a huge range of concerts each week throughout New York. See the biggest stars live on stage at Madison Square Garden, Carnegie Hall or Barclays Center in Brooklyn. Of course, it’s also very important to know if you happen to be in New York on National Pizza Day or National Burger Day! In the below breakdown, you can see a daily account of things to do in NYC this weekend.

NYC Activities This Weekend

Seeing a Broadway Musical is a must during your New York trip. During the weekend you can see a Matinee show on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon and also evening performances on both days. Go and see a classic show that has been running for years or see one of the exciting new musicals and enjoy the modern storylines and impressive sets.

If you feel like going out on the town during the evenings and are looking for the best of New York’s nightlife, I recommend visiting a rooftop bar. In the summer months, the Happy Hour Cruise is a fun way to start the evening and enjoy the views.

Saturday is the perfect day to see a show of some sort and grab a drink afterwards. Alternatively, make it an early night and head back to your hotel so you can be up bright early on Sunday to board the bus for a gospel tour through Harlem!
