Things to do in NYC in July?

My boyfriend and I are planning on going to NYC during July for a few Yankees game. We plan on going again in July, so what are some things we should make sure to check out in the summer months that we wouldnt be able to enjoy in the winter?



Is there anything to do in the Bronx? We might spend a day there before one of the Yankees games. We are on somewhat of a budget, but might be able to splurge on a few things. We would really like to have a good time and experience the city, maybe some things tourists don't think to go see...



Also, if anyone has heard of the Clarion Hotel by the Laguardia Airport..is it decent, like safe and clean or is it the opposite? Being old doesn't bother me, just as long as its clean and we won't get mugged or something.



Thanks for the help!Things to do in NYC in July?

Governors Island in Manhattan is also best place to visit. This National Park is unknown to many tourist book.

Also, if you like to get wet, take $29 ride on New York Splash Tour.

In Queens, north of Roosevelt Av is consider safe. You have to make sure not to get into trouble.Things to do in NYC in July?
bronx zoo, bronx botanical garden. there's also city island for seafood dining. city island doesn't have a bronx feel, more like a new england feel to it.



that's some of the popular things to do. other than that, welp.... check out brooklyn, lots more to see and do there than the bronx.Things to do in NYC in July?

Try going to see Shakespeare in the Park in Central Park. It's free, but it does require getting there EARLY! (Like 6:30 a.m.) for tickets. You can wait for them in Central Park, near the theater (It's on a path in the park near 80th Street.) Or you can wait for them at the Public Theater near Astor Place in the Village.



This is a real NYC event! It's great! And even if you think you don't like Shakespeare, Shakespeare in the Park will surprise you. First of all, it's fun, usually funny, and fast moving. And it's done out in the open air, in a lovely setting - you'll love it!
