Regardless of the season, New York City’s parks offer a refuge from the stresses of everyday life in the city as well as prime spots for outdoor gatherings. The best NYC parks provide plenty of space and fresh air, perfect for soaking up the sun in summer or taking some time for quiet contemplation in the winter. Whether you’re looking for a bit of nature, a path for jogging or biking, a spot for a picnic or a place to walk your dog, these parks offer all that and much more. Did you know that there are around 1,700 parks within the five boroughs? From pocket parks to dog parks to massive beauties like Central Park and Prospect Park, NYC’s parks have their own unique characteristics, and all are cherished as jewels among the concrete landscape of the city. While the winter months may not be the best for boating or picnicking, NYC’s parks are still one of the top things to do outside year-round. Central Park is the most popular park in New York for sure, but there may be another you find is the most beautiful—it's all in the eye of the beholder. These parks are a must for locals and visitors alike. They offer picturesque views, fresh air, and seasonal programming and activities. Be on the lookout for movie screenings, outdoor concerts, holiday markets, hiking, and ice skating. While some are peaceful and some are buzzy hotspots, they all offer a chance to escape the hustle and bustle and enjoy being outside.

There are some NYC hotels that have, over time, become synonymous with the city itself. The Carlyle is one of those New York grand dames that still manages to feel as relevant today as when it first opened in 1930. The Carlyle, A Rosewood Hotel, (its official name) has a prime location in the center of the elegant Upper East Side. Located a block from Central Park, its central tower can be seen throughout the neighborhood—as intrinsically a part of the upscale area as the flowers of Park Avenue.  A large part of what’s helped maintain this hospitality icon’s relevance has been its charming, idiosyncratic public venues: Bemelmans Bar, Café Carlyle and—more recently—Dowling’s at the Carlyle. During a recent stay, I was most looking forward to being able to drop in to experience these classic New York spots without having to step outside. (Especially since it happened to be downpouring that night.)  With 192 rooms and suites, there is a wide array of options for a night here. We stayed in an Upper East Side Suite which had a separate sleeping area as well as a full kitchen—perfect for those interested in a longer stay. The minimal, Art Deco design felt both modern and timeless. Meanwhile, the full (but quite tiny) kitchen was a useful touch that made our time here feel more like a home away from home than a hotel stay—one of The Carlyle’s superpowers. Another big bonus of a night here is hopping into one of the historic gold-trimmed elevators and soaring up to your throwback sui

Anvil Hotel is a modern take on a classic Western lodge that offers a slightly more affordable alternative to the many expensive luxury hotels found in Jackson. (To be fair, however, everything in Jackson is pretty expensive.) The elevated motel also has a wonderful central location, within walking distance of all that Jackson has to offer. If you’re looking for a comfortable, more cost-conscious option in the nature lover’s paradise of Northwest Wyoming, then this is an excellent pick. Although the hotel’s 51 rooms are spread out across the property, the Anvil’s main lobby effectively provides a central gathering place. The rustic, high-ceilinged room is a combination of a café and mercantile store with a thoughtfully curated selection of books and gifts alongside cards and board games. In the morning, guests are able to stop by to enjoy complimentary coffee from Jackson’s Snake River Roasters as well as fresh pastries. Rounding out the food and beverage options is Glorietta, an Italian trattoria serving handmade pasta, woodfired pizza and cocktails. The rooms at Anvil provide a contemporary take on the American West. Designed by Brooklyn-based Studio Tack, the cozy lodging boasts custom metal beds, custom Woolrich blankets, raw brass fixtures, rain showers and back products from Co. Bigelow. When it comes time to get out and explore, an on-site director of experiences is on-hand to facilitate a number of curated recreational activities from hiking to bike riding.  Getting o

The world of made-to-measure clothing is steeped in tradition. Many contemporary customs regarding suiting—from button placement and color to fabric choices—have been in place for centuries. While that continuity lends a certain timelessness to the industry it also makes it ripe for innovation. Local atelier Watson Ellis is seizing that opportunity. After working in the male-dominated business for over a decade, Melissa Watson Ellis realized there was a glaring lack of custom suit companies catering equally to women, men and nonbinary individuals. She launched her bespoke NYC atelier to reach that untapped market.“I definitely saw that the industry was missing a huge group of people,” says Watson Ellis. Photograph: Courtesy Watson EllisMelissa Watson Ellis At a light-filled atelier on the corner of 8th Avenue and 14th Street, Watson Ellis offers handmade suiting in three options: custom, bespoke and one-of-a-kind original designs. (The difference between the first two is an extra muslin fitting.) First, however, she had to overcome a pretty big obstacle: the lack of suiting templates for cis female bodies.  “There wasn’t a template,” says Watson Ellis. “So I based the middle size off of my own body and then graded up and down from there. What else did I have to work with?” Along with a personalized and inclusive approach to her work with clients, Watson Ellis prioritizes sustainability in her approach—sourcing fabrics from ethical mills across Italy, France and the U.K. The

On a quiet upstate road between the Catskill mountains and the Hudson River, an unassuming venue is partnering with some of the biggest names in Brooklyn music. With its dark facade and single Coors Light sign blinking in the window, it would be easy to drive past The Tavern without giving it a second glance. Those not in the know would definitely not suspect that the lowkey spot in the middle of the woods was partnering with big local names like Barbès, Sister Midnight and Good Room on a killer lineup this summer. They’d also be pretty surprised upon entering the small building to find a state-of-the-art sound system, bar and dance floor. Photograph: Courtesy Kiki Vassilakis, Glen Falls House| The Tavern The venue is part of Glen Falls House, a newly revitalized resort spread out across multiple buildings on Winter Clove Road in the historic community of Round Top. With its main building dating back to 1881 and well-worn trails leading to stunning, under-the-radar waterfalls, the resort balances Catskills tradition with contemporary offerings like an on-site mushroom farm and Brooklinen bedding. That balancing act extends to its live music venue where cutting-edge offerings can be found within a simple roadside building. “This is the summer where everything has come together,” Glen Falls House owner Jon Picco tells Time Out. “We’re very eclectic in our taste, we just draw the line at good music.” This summer, that taste has resulted in steering away from house and EDM whi

Everyone’s favorite season is almost here. No, we’re not talking about summer. We’re talking about margarita season! (We can almost taste the triple sec now.) In order to gear up for warm days with cold drinks, Time Out Market Boston is throwing an epic margarita contest where some of the city’s best bars and restaurants will compete with their own unique takes on the classic cocktail. The talented participants will be bringing plenty of creativity, refreshing flavors and (obviously) lots of tequila. The four-hour event runs from 11am–3pm and will feature local hotspots including: Loco Hojoko Bartaco Big Heart Hospitality Group& more! Join us for the free fiesta and you’ll be able to sip, savor and vote on tasty samples from some of the absolute best margaritas in the city. The winner of the competition will walk away with the title of “Time Out’s Best Margarita in Fenway,” a trophy and a cash prize. You will walk away having sampled some truly delicious margaritas. Everyone wins! Whether you're a margarita aficionado or a tequila tippling novice, you'll be able to come and support your favorite local spot or discover a brand-new one at this fun-filled Sunday afternoon happening. You can find out more information for the event (participants must be 21+), and register for a free ticket, here.

Over the last few years, the worrying threat of runaway artificial intelligence has loomed large in many of our minds. Still, it’s hard to imagine a productive way to respond to such a complicated, societal issue. For instance, though I have many issues I'd like to discuss with Elon Musk, he’s not exactly taking my calls at the moment. Thankfully, a luxury resort a few hours north of NYC is now offering an experience to address this ambient anxiety head-on. It also happens to take the form of my favorite coping mechanism: having a few cocktails and pretending something doesn’t exist. As a result, I knew I had to give it a go.  Urban Cowboy Lodge is a 26-room boutique hotel spread out across cabin-style buildings on a large hill. Outside, there are lovely views of the surrounding Oliverea Valley wilderness. Inside, you’ll find a maximalist, “mountain lodge” aesthetic with antler chandeliers, bold tribal prints and numerous pictures nodding to the region’s history. The lodge recently unveiled a new digital detox initiative called the “Unplug & Play Anti-AI package.” Upon receiving a reservation email, guests can opt into the program and trade their smartphones for a Polaroid camera and a list of screen-free activities. How hard could it be to live without a phone for a few days? Photograph: Courtesy David Krugman My husband and I arrived at the property on Friday evening. Stepping into the resort’s main lodge is like stepping into an Instagram filter you want to live in. Gian

There are as many opinions on how to make the perfect Bloody Mary as there are variations of the iconic cocktail. Still—whether you’re looking to nurse a hangover or just get your weekend off to an extra fun start—you deserve the absolute best version of the classic drink. That’s why Time Out Market Boston set out to find Fenway’s top Bloody Mary at its recent Bloody Mary Contest. The winner? (Drumroll, please!) Big Heart Hospitality. Eight local booze experts competed at the tasty event earlier this month for a fun day full of sipping, sampling and socializing. Guests were each given a token that they were able to use to vote for their favorite Bloody after sampling all of the available options. At the end of the day, Big Heart’s delicious and innovative take came out on top. “I think the number one thing that makes a great Bloody Mary is the consistency of the drink,” says Big Heart Hospitality’s Justin McGrail. “If it’s too thin, it tastes watery, and if it’s too thick, it’s tough to drink.” Dying to try your hand at making the winning drink yourself? McGrail was kind enough to pass along the list of ingredients he used to make the crowd-pleaser: • Tomato Juice• Horseradish• Worcestershire Sauce• Sriracha• Celery Salt• Black Pepper• Sweet Cheeks North Carolina Vinegar Sauce• Old Bay Seasoning• Sweet Cheeks Spice Rub• Sweet Cheeks Gochujang BBQ sauce• Fresh Lemon Juice “All the unique ingredients I used in my Bloody were things that we already had in house at Sweet Cheeks,”

Sopar a fora serà més espectacular que mai Els restaurants miraran més enllà dels plats: “Podríem dir que la tendència serà afegir petits tocs de glamur”, diu l’editora de Menjar i Beure de Time Out New York, Amber Sutherland-Namako. Des d’unes bombolles que serveixen al Cafe Mars en uns gots especials fins als plats de The Bazaar”. L’editora de Time Out Canada, Laura Osborne, hi està d’acord: “Alguns en diuen sopar-espectacle, però estem parlant de més restaurants amb un concepte de cuina molt obert”.

Traveling from Queens to a tropical paradise in under five hours? You better Belize it! JetBlue launched a brand-new direct flight from NYC to Belize City this month, and Time Out was one of first few to be able to take advantage of new “runway to reef” service.  On the morning of the inaugural flight, I could hear the joyful gate celebration taking place halfway down the terminal. At the end of the concourse, an arch with balloons had been erected, Belizean food was being handed out and a lively Garifuna musical performance was taking place to mark the auspicious first day of the new service. (JetBlue is now the only airline offering direct service from JFK to the Central American hotspot.) Photograph: Will GleasonRibbon cutting at JFK “We’re thrilled to add Belize to our growing network and offer our customers more choices to experience unique and popular destinations,” said David Jehn, JetBlue’s VP of network planning and airline partnerships, in a statement directly following the celebration. “Adding nonstop service to Belize enhances our presence in Latin America and the Caribbean and demonstrates our commitment to introducing our low fares and great service to more destinations and customers.” After taking in my first-ever pre-9am live drum performance, it was time to board the plane for the quick four-and-a-half-hour flight.

The celebrity illusionist Antonio Diaz, AKA “El Mago Pop,” has achieved a remarkable level of success in his native Spain. He’s not only the highest grossing European illusionist—he’s also Spain’s highest grossing performer across all art forms. Now, he’s bringing his blockbuster, mind-bending show to New York audiences for the first time with his Broadway debut at the Barrymore Theatre on August 20. “I'm living a dream, please don't wake me up,” Diaz tells Time Out New York. “Performing on Broadway was one of my childhood dreams. I never imagined what's happening these days: being the youngest illusionist to have my solo show on Broadway.” We caught up with the master magician before his show officially opens this weekend to get the lowdown on his favorite, most magical spots in NYC. (No teleportation required.) El Mago Pop opens at The Barrymore Theatre on August 20. Tannen's Magic Shop “Opened in 1925, [this] is New York City's longest running magic store. This small shop holds many tricks from some of the world's most famous magicians and is even home to some unique Houdini artifacts. The greatest magicians of the last hundred years have relied on that same company to purchase their tricks and have walked Tannen's sales floor in search of their next big idea. I love to stroll and breathe in inspiration surrounded by magic.” The High Line “The history surrounding the High Line makes me feel like I'm in a place that's more than just a park. Built on [a] historic elevated ra

In NYC, we're spoiled with blockbuster art exhibitions, a vast gallery scene and prodigious public art. When looking back over 2022, considering the hundreds of visual art shows to grace the city this year, there are five that we'll be talking about long after December 31.  It was tough to narrow down the list to just a few of the best, and there are many honorable mentions we must shout out first, including The Whitney’s “no existe un mundo poshuracán“ exploring Puerto Rican Art after Hurricane Maria, the staggeringly hyperrealistic NOTaMUSEUM pop-up and the takeover by jaguar sculptures around town, to name a few. Now, without further ado, here are Time Out New York's top five art exhibits of the year.  RECOMMENDED: Here's what coming to The Met in 2023, including a major Van Gogh exhibit Photograph: Artothek / Bridgeman Images| Gustav Klimt, Water Serpents II, 1904-07, private collection 5. “Gustav Klimt: Gold in Motion” "Goblin mode" may be the Oxford dictionary's word of the year, but in NYC, the word of the year was "immersive." It seemed like everything was immersive this year, from art to theater to holiday experiences. One immersive art exhibit stood out from the rest, though. Gustav Klimt's floral paintings practically drip down the walls at the Emigrant Industrial Savings Bank, the city's oldest savings bank, which has been transformed into a center for immersive art experiences called Hall des Lumières.  The architecture of the space—massive columns and soaring

    The Radio City Rockettes are one of the city’s most iconic symbols of the holiday season, a mind-blowingly talented group of dancers and bona fide athletes who rehearse six days a week for hours at a time. Erik Alden, managing director of Time Out Live, is neither of those things. But one thing he is? He’s game. So we sent him to the Rockettes’ rehearsal studio on the top floor of Radio City to warm up with dancers from the show and learn part of a number from this year’s Christmas Spectacular (running through January 1). Here are his big takeaways:  Bendy is beautiful “Before we started dancing, we had what they called a light stretch warm-up but what I would probably call a full workout. Their big thing is stretching their legs because so much of the movement is centered there, but there was also a big focus on the core. I’m definitely not as bendy as them. I was feeling some deep pain in areas I wasn’t even familiar with, and once we started doing planks, things got really dicey.” RECOMMENDED: Christmas in New York   Photograph: Teddy Wolff   Getting high is hard “I had no idea that the kicks were actually that high. When I heard ‘high kicks,’ I was thinking waist-high, but their feet go so high in the air they call them ‘eye-high kicks.’ I did not make it that high. I also didn’t realize that when they locked arms while kicking, they’re not actually touching each other. I couldn’t do that. I still needed to balance on them. It was actually easier to do the kicks the

One of the city’s most sky-high attractions is once again welcoming visitors. The (quite literal) crown jewel of the Empire State Building, the Top Deck, is now open to the public. The newly renovated 102nd floor observatory is reached via a glass elevator from the 86th floor observatory. (No, you will not be leaving with ownership of a whimsical chocolate factory.) Once you arrive at the tip-top of the iconic skyscraper, you'll be greeted with a spectacular view of the city and beyond. Like, way beyond. In fact, on a clear day, the observatory says you can see up to 80 miles into the distance. (That’s far enough to see six different states!) The panoramic view can be seen out of 24 windows spread all the way around the architecturally significant space. If it's been a while since you've been to the Empire State Building, it may be time for a return visit. After a huge renovation, the building is now home to three different floors of observatories, as well as a new museum, with everything from facts on the famous building to a giant King Kong you can pose with. (There seems to be a trend of that lately.) You can find more information on the experience here. Tickets start at $72 for adults to enter the one-of-a-kind space and $66 for children. That may seem a bit steep but if you’ve spent the last five months staring out or your apartment window at a parking lot, a change in perspective may be sorely in order.
