Head to NYC for Memorial Day!
May is home to Memorial Day, and what better city to celebrate the weekend than in New York? Spring is the perfect time to explore New York by bicycle or venture around on-foot to absorb the amazing skyline views. May welcomes outdoor venues on rooftop bars, which means sundecks, views, pools, and cocktails. Invest in sightseeing passes to witness the top attractions, or raid the designer shops as May is one of the best sample sale months in NYC. Note that some events may be postponed or different this year due to COVID-19, we will do our best to update this page with any new information.
May Event Calendar
New York Yankees
You can’t visit New York and escape a baseball game; it’s an iconic tourist activity that’ll leave you with life-long memories. New York Yankees are playing multiple dates in May, so you have got a great chance of sporting tickets for at least one game. For top-tier seats, you’ll need to increase your budget, though no matter where you’re positioned, the atmosphere will be thrilling.
Things to Do in New York in May
See a Broadway show
A New York City visit isn’t complete without seeing a Broadway show. There are a lot of options to choose from like the Broadway-phenomenon, “Hamilton,” the Broadway classic, “Wicked,” “Lion King,” “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child,” “Mean Girls,” and more. Make sure to grab a ticket in advance!
Experience and play VR games at the city’s best virtual reality spots
If you haven’t tried virtual reality yet, New York’s a good place to start. The city has a few VR places to check out that’ll allow you to play games by yourself or with other people, like VR World NYC, Hubneo VR Lab, and Vrbar. Jump into the Light at the Lower East Side is also a great place to try, with their VR skydiving, VR boxing, and more. All-access passes there are $30 but they have matinee pricing as well.
