The 50 best things to do in NYC now |
|
Many New Yorkers choose to get out of the city in August (and if you’re looking to do that, we’ve got plenty of options
) but those in the know realize there are tons of things to do if you’re staying put. Many of the city’s best attractions have adapted to these unique times in cool and innovative ways. For instance: You can now tour an outdoor art exhibition, have a food festival delivered to your door, enjoy an open-air concert and more. (Within a week, many of the city’s biggest museums will also be able to reopen at reduced capacity.) Check out our full list for more fun things to do in the city now. |

Tucked away on a picturesque corner in Brooklyn Heights, River Deli is a great outdoor dining destination for those looking for a quiet spot for a socially distanced date. The tagliatelle with lamb ragu is a perfect bowl of pasta | |

Drink |
|
Sitting in the excellent, bitters-focused bar Amor y Amargo used to be a tight squeeze in its small space on 6th Street. Now, you can grab an 8 Amaro Sazerac (House Amaro Blend, Orange Cream Citrate and Green Chartreuse) and enjoy it under an expansive outdoor tent. | |

The city’s gyms can finally reopen |
 |
|
The good news? After being forced to close for five months, NYC’s gyms and fitness centers will finally be permitted as early as August 24 (though it's now looking like early September) as long as they meet various health protocols and only operate at 33 percent capacity. The bad news? Your rock solid excuse for not working out is now gone. Read more about what the city’s gyms will look like when they reopen. |

The new restaurant Kimika, opening today in Nolita, is a carb lover’s dream. The Italian-Japanese venue boasts rich pasta, crispy flatbreads and creamy desserts. It also has an all female-led kitchen. We spoke with the team about the exciting new outing
and what it’s like to open a restaurant during these surreal times. “At this point, with things getting so much better in New York City, we decided to go for it,” says co-owner Erika Chou. “Life needs to go forward. Things are happening in New York, and we can be creative in safe ways.” |
