Getting Outdoors in Midtown

Summer is upon us and Manhattan is a great place to do something fun.  In this article we look at some of the fun things happening in the area and suggest places to cool down as well.

First, there is MoMa in New York which is spending $450 million on an expansion project.  The first phase has already been completed and the public is invited to check out the 15,000 square feet of “reconfigured galleries, a new, second gift shop, a redesigned cafe and espresso bar and, facing the sculpture garden, two lounges graced with black marble quarried in France.” Ultimately the expansion will provide more room for the 200,000 pieces to be displayed as well as 25 percent additional space for visitors to relax.

Then there is BevNET Live Summer 2017 – the “leading conference for the beverage industry,” with its networking opportunities, discussions on moving the industry forward and bringing your products to the limelight.

And while you’re out strolling the neighborhood in the evenings, don’t forget to enjoy one of the many fabulous rooftop bars in the area.  Check out: the PHD Terrace at Dream Midtown, Empire Rooftop, Roof at Park South and St. Cloud Social atop The Knickerbocker if you want to fully appreciate some of the great summer happenings in the area this year.
