The Weekender: September 27th - 29th

Happy Friday Friends!

We hope that you are enjoying the fall weather as much as we are! With that being said, here are some things to do in New York City this weekend so that you can enjoy the crisp autumnal air.

September 27th - 29th: Visit the DUMBO Arts Festival and enjoy the fall weather. "With its industrial spaces easily converted to studios, DUMBO underwent a radical transformation into an edgy but upscale enclave populated by art lovers and creators. The DUMBO Arts Festival honors that connection with three days of family-friendly performances and installations as well as open studios and galleries. Esmeralda Kosmatopoulos, Xue Chen and Marney Fuller are among the nearly 500 artists to display their work. During the festival's first day, there will be a special yoga event with live music (from 6:30 to 8pm). For more information, visit dumboartsfestival.com"
