Fans of art and sculpture will enjoy a stroll through the Socrates Sculpture Park, founded by an American sculptor named Mark di Suvero in 1986. What was once an abandoned landfill is now an outdoor exhibition space for sculpture and large-scale work. The park hosts events and programs like kids workshops, adult workshops, kite making and flying, fitness programs, outdoor cinema, and much more. In addition to encouraging and showcasing the creative expression of the featured artists, the park provides an environment conducive to artists, artwork and social interaction.
Fans of music, jazz in particular, will enjoy an excursion with Big Apple Jazz Tours. New York City's historic roots have a hold in the jazz industry as well, with famous musicians like Billie Holiday linked to the city. This tour will take you to NYC's modern-day jazz hangouts where you'll see the genre's best talents performing.
When the holidays roll around and it's a family priority to watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade on television every year, you should really consider heading to NYC to see it in person. This world-famous event has been a major production since 1924 and there's nothing like seeing it from the sidelines.
