In addition to the many joys of summer – long days, warm weather escapes, ice cream treats – comes the opportunity for music lovers and fans alike to take part in outdoor concerts. Every year, the Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn plays host to a selection of musical acts, ranging from well known artists to up and comers. Though the venue for the concerts has changed over the years from McCarren Park to the latest iteration at the Williamsburg Waterfront on Kent Avenue, each experience is better than the next. This summer boasts weekly musical moments, upstaged only by the brilliant view of Manhattan’s skyline as a backdrop. Check out the full list of Williamsburg Waterfront Concerts below!

The trend may have heated up in Los Angeles, but food trucks are hardly a new idea. Cultures all over the world offer quick and easy delicacies along the side of the road, literally turning a restaurant into a mobile environment. But while LA has their taco trucks, New York took the idea of a food truck and ran with it in a way no one’s seen yet. Now city streets are covered in decorated trucks, offering everything from Korean barbeque to slushies. What began as just a few lone mobile chefs has turned into a massive collection of restaurateurs. And to continue the move towards embracing new forms of culture, each truck broadcasts their location through social media, announcing on Twitter each morning their planned destination. This summer, forgo the regular dinner in a restaurant and opt instead for dinner al fresco,  in a park with one of the many food truck  dishes!

Juliette in Brooklyn

When the weather turns warm in New York City, eating outside becomes a desired way of life. City residents are so desperate to escape indoor confines and bask in the summer’s heat that it’s easy to forget the cute little outdoor table you’re about to sit down at is actually on a major bus lane. So in attempt to pair both dining al fresco with city living, forgo the gross fumes thanks to a variety of rooftop dining locations. If you’re a Brooklyn lover, make plans to visit Juliette, where a hidden terrace provides a dinner experience under the city stars. With Mario Batali’s latest creation comes Birreria, a rooftop beer garden serving all Italian delicacies. Indulge in meats and cheeses from the various parts of the country, while sipping on a selection of beverages like Italian and American craft beers, plus three original cask beers brewed in house. When you’re in the mood for sushi in the summer, take off for the West Village, as Sushi Samba provides both the views and delicacies for an evening of dining under the stars. For a bit of culture, spend the afternoon checking out the Metropolitan Museum of Art and finish off the afternoon of art with a refreshing glass of vino and snacks on the museum’s rooftop, overlooking views of the Central Park.

Juliette; 135 North 5th St at Bedford

Birreria; 200 5th Avenue at 23rd Street

Roof Garden Cafe; Metropolitan Museum of Art, 1000 Fifth Avenue at 82nd Street

Sushi Samba; 87 Seventh Avenue South at Barrow Street

With the arrival of June 21st comes the official beginning of summer, which gives city residents a short window of time to cram in as many warm weather excursions as possible. Weekend trips to the Hamptons and Fire Island may be already planned, but for those who are enjoying a stay-cation this summer, there’s hardly a lack of fun to be found.

• Two of NYC’s hottest ice cream trucks are leaning towards the brick and mortar route to accommodate the sheer number of sweet treat lovers. Lucky East Village residents have both the Van Leeuwen and Big Gay Ice Cream stores opening shop on E 7th street this month!
• As a celebration of the debut of Section 2 of the High Line, The Lot is a temporary space featuring public art, free events, along with a selection of food trucks including Coolhaus, Kelvin Natural Slush Co., Red Hook Lobster, Taim Mobile, and The Taco Truck. Currently, Tom Colicchio’s Colicchio & Sons created an outdoor bar showcasing a special beer made specifically for the High Line, which makes it a clear must-try.  The Lot at the High Line is open daily from 11:00 AM to 10:00 PM Sunday through Wednesday, and 11:00 AM to 11:00 PM Thursday through Saturday.
• If you’re desperate for sand, pick one of the Water Taxi Beaches and set up shop for the day. Governors Island, Long Island City, and the South Street Seaport each boast their own versions of the fake beach, along with the requisite summer cook out snacks like hot dogs and hamburgers.
• When the heat just becomes absolutely unbearable, throw your beach towel and sunscreen into a bag and trek up to the Bronx to check out this year’s Floating Pool at Barretto Point Park. Originally a barge, the pool enjoyed a renovation a few years ago to help city residents deal with the concrete summer jungle. Now, each summer the Floating Pool Lady serves as a respite for residents, taking up residency on the waterways of one of NYC’s boroughs.

After all he’s gone through and done for you, dear old Dad needs a bit of appreciation shown to him. Though said father should feel the love all year round, there’s no better day than Father’s Day to give him an extra bit of attention. For city dwellers, it’s the perfect excuse to indulge in a few of your favorite past times with dad. A trip to Yankees Stadium might be out of the question considering your baseball allegiances, but there’s hardly a lack of interesting adventures to find in New York. For the more relaxed Dad, start the day with dim sum in Chinatown, followed by a calm afternoon in the park. If your old man is all about the gastronomic pleasures, you could go one of two ways: walking food tour or a prix fixe menu planned at a fancy restaurant. But let’s say your father is more of the cultural individual, in which case a tour of one of the less visited museums would provide the perfect afternoon activities. But whatever you end up doing, the most important realization is that the most important part of the day is simply spending time together.

Though New Yorkers already count themselves lucky enough to enjoy a varied selection of limited release films as compared to the rest of the country, the TriBeCa Film Festival provides an opportunity for directors, actors, and fans to come together in appreciation for the art form – and the city that inspires so many. Originally founded as a response to the terrorist attacks as a way to bring focus back to the neighborhood, the experience, which was created by Jane Rosenthal, Robert De Niro and Craig Hatkoff has turned into an annual opportunity to bring together those who create and those who appreciate. What began as a five day festival with 150,000 attendees has turned into twelve days of film, panels, and events drawing the attention of over three million individuals. Each year the excitement grows, and in 2011, the festival crowned their very first video game, expanding the set barriers of the TriBeCa Film Festival into new realms!
