Music
Whether you’re dying to see Eminem live, or are more into BEARCAT and Native Sun, the New York music festival scene could easily keep you busy all summer! Governors Ball and Panorama Music Festival are both massive festivals with big-name headliners, but if that’s not your style, you can also head up to Rockefeller Center to catch your favorite artist on the Today Show or picnic in Central Park to the music of the Met Opera. No matter your taste, New York’s got it.
