Tina Desai's must-do in New York for spring season
New Delhi, April 23
With a number of
sightseeing tours, photographic opportunities and historical landmarks,
you can spend days in New York taking strolls around. Actress Tina Desai
has summarised her spring tour in five things to do in New York during
spring.
Here’s what she suggests:
* Central Park: Best of
the lot to see the first sign of spring in New York City. Central park
is one spot with blooms popping up all over the place. Long strolls is
one thing that one can never get bored of here. While Central Park
offers a tranquil respite all year round from the surrounding cacophony
of urban life, it is during the spring time that the park really
sparkles.
* Finger Lakes: Along the shores of Seneca Lake is
amazing wine country, an elegant way to explore the New York
countryside. Biking or hiking trails criss-cross across this preserve
nestled between Seneca and Cayuga lakes.
* Shopping is must:
From latest chic trends to summer hot picks, you can find everything in
the spring fleas here. One can just not miss Long Island’s city flea.
This is an underrated market here for the locals. Having said that, it’s
a must visit for tourists. This one is curated with the diversity and
spirit of queens in mind. Choose from art, baked goods, handmade
jewellery, photography and more. Other than this, Brooklyn flea that
opens in May gives a fresh essence of spring shopping.
*
Birding: The best way to enjoy spring is getting outside to explore the
outdoors. Here in New York, birding is a big hobby, and you can get
into the sport by spending one or all six days at Wave hill with
bird-inspired activities. From bird-themed art to walks through the park
pointing out different species to science programmes and feathered
demonstrations, Spring Wings is sure to open your child's eyes to a new
experience.
* Nightlife and bars: After the cold heavy winter,
New York lights up and how during spring. Most of the open air venues
are shut during the winter and open again in spring. When you’re done
checking off more activities in New York, celebrate the warmth and
renewal with refreshing craft beers and crisp cocktails under the sky.
