Summer Fun in New York City: a Perfect 1 Day Itinerary, New York, New York
Summer in New York City, contrary to some peoples鈥� belief, can be the best time visit. The city is abuzz with people, music festivals, much awaited al fresco dining, street fairs and parks beckoning to be explored. There is so much going on in the Big Apple, it can be hard to know where to begin. Below is one of my favorite itineraries for a perfect summer day spent in the city.

Everyone鈥檚 favorite downtown park, this old elevated railway track converted into a public park is one of the coolest spots in all of NYC.聽
Take a stroll along the 1.45 mile long park on Manhattan鈥檚 far west side in the Chelsea and Meatpacking neighborhoods, and enjoy a little slice of nature above New York鈥檚 city streets. Cityscape as well as Hudson River views abound, artists are displaying their works, and gourmet food vendors are selling their treats. At times the path intertwines with the city鈥檚 buildings so much so that you are practically looking into someone鈥檚 living room. It鈥檚 one of the most unique parts of the city, and one of my favorite places in all of New York. ...... (follow the instructions below for accessing the rest of this article).
