Happy August, New Yorkers!
I can’t believe it’s the last full month of summer, so let’s make the most of every event the city has to offer. I’ve rounded up everything worth adding to your calendar this month - at least one thing for every day of the month! From free concerts and neighborhood festivals to summer markets, museum events, and a few of my favorite NYC summer bucket list activities.
