Spring is here in New York. The flowers are blooming and the shows are opening. Thanks to the Playbill Partner Hotels Booking Engine, the staff of Playbill have compiled an exciting list of Places to visit in NYC. From ballparks to historical sites, museums and more, here are five exciting things you too can do in the Big Apple as the weather warms up.
After You See Hamilton, Go to the Hamilton Grange National Memorial
414 W 141st St
"This historical site is ideal for the Broadway lover (calling all Hamilton aficionado’s) and American history buff. The Hamilton Grange National Memorial is something you can only experience in NYC. Patriotic, beautiful and right next to City College (which looks like a castle!), you’re in for a wonderful off-the-beaten-path experience not too busy with tourists." —Chris Kateff (Sales and Marketing Specialist)
Immerse Yourself in The Frick Collection
1 East 70th Street
"Having just reopened after a massive renovation, The Frick Collection is finally open, just in time for the Spring. With so many blooms throughout the city and crowds flocking to snap a photo of New York City’s cherry blossoms, you can find beautiful (porcelain) flowers and some peace and quiet at Vladimir Kanevsky’s Porcelain Garden. This exhibition is open until October 6, and will be around long after the last cherry blossoms are gone." —Franchesca Reese (Director of New York City Travel & Tourism)
Attend a New York Yankees Game
1 East 161st Street
"There is no better way to spend a beautiful spring afternoon than going to watch America's pastime at the iconic Yankee Stadium. Enjoying the beautiful weather, a good game and classic ballpark snacks is the epitome of springtime in NYC for me." —Grace Simpson (National Sales Director)
Ride the NYC Ferry
All around the city.
"Last weekend I took the NYC Ferry to Brooklyn, and it was fabulous! It’s a nice, cheap, and something not many people know about (so it's not too crowded). There’s a bar on board, beautiful views of NYC, and a true New York moment. I’m mad I have never done this before!" —Logan Culwell-Block (Managing News Editor)
Attend a Broadway Show
"There are so many wonderful shows to see this spring, from new shows opening this season to long-running favorites. There are tons to choose from for all ages who want to explore the greatest live theatre has to offer, right in the heart of New York City." —Alex Birsh (Vice President/Chief Operating Officer)
