The three things you need to know today in New York: Tue March 20

1. It’s the first day of spring, and New York will finally start warming up soon. You need to go to outdoor food festivals, see cherry blossoms and drink on rooftops. 

2. The Stephen Petronio Company performs Bloodlines at the Joyce Theatre this week. The production features postmodern dance. 

3. Go see Miss You Like Hell at the Public Theater. The new musical from Quiara Hudes begins performances today.
