New York City offers lots of entertainment opportunities, and as a visitor, there may be so much you don’t know about what this vibrant city has in store for you!
Whether it’s a short weekend getaway or a long break from the rigors of the daily grind, you may find yourself in the Big Apple on a Saturday and unsure of what to do there!
Here’s where we can help— New York City which is comprised of five boroughs is ripe with opportunities to explore and uncover a host of wonderful experiences, and Saturdays are no exception. In fact, the weekend is the perfect chance to really discover what New York City has to offer, from daytime events to nighttime partying.
Visit the Brooklyn Flea
[241 37th St. Brooklyn, NY]
The Brooklyn Flea in Industry City has ample opportunity to make some great purchases! Set up between 10 am to 5 pm on Saturdays and Sundays, Brooklyn Flea is one of the more popular shopping attractions in the city. It features hundreds of vendors of everything from art and jewelry to furniture, antiques, and clothing. This is a must-visit bazaar!
Catch a Broadway or Off-Broadway Matinee
A quintessential New York City Saturday afternoon activity to indulge in would of course be to visit the Theater District and purchase substantially discounted tickets to a Broadway or Off-Broadway show from one of two TKTS ticket discounter locations, in NYC. Here you can purchase steeply discounted tickets for a next day matinee or for a same day evening performance. Tickets, though generally at full price, can also be purchased directly at a theater’s box office. There are also several theaters that hold curbside seat lotteries at steeply discounted pricing for same evening performances, two hours before showtime!
Meander Along the High Line
The railway turned park is yet another excellent option for your Saturday activity needs! Opened in 2009, this urban park, set on an elevated rail line, extends along Chelsea and the Meatpacking District, and has plenty of excellent dining options, art, and other attractions to uncover along the way, at street level.
