Seems like just yesterday I was sharing where to find the best rooftop bars and outdoor Summer spots.
However… ready or not, the end of Summer is fast approaching and with it comes Labor Day Weekend festivities! So whether you want to head over to the Eastern Parkway with the masses to enjoy the Annual West Indian American Day Carnival Parade and move your hips to the rhythmic beats of the drums, or relax aboard the Schooner Adirondack as you leave your cares behind and feel the breeze of the New York Harbor.
New York City has something for everyone and if you’re looking to get away for the long holiday weekend, I’ve got something for you too!
2013 West Indian American American Day Carival Parade – This years theme is “Celebrate our Caribbean Pride and Culture” The biggest expression of Caribbean Pride in North American is celebrated here in NYC as the event marks its 46th Anniversary.
This years celebration is expected to be bigger and better than ever as New York celebrates Caribbean Week with 5 days of Cultural displays and entertainment from August 29 – September 2. From 4 days of shows on the Brooklyn Museums grounds to Caribbean Woodstock – a music filled event on Aug. 29th and more.

Day Sails on Schooner Adirondack - Experience New York in a relaxing yet exhilerating atmosphere as you sail aboard the Schooner Adirondack. You’ll soon forget the noise and mayhem of Manhattan within minutes of leaving the dock! Enjoy the cool breeze of the New York Harbor as you take in the famous Manhattan skyline and spectacular views of Ellis Island, Statue of Liberty and the Brooklyn Bridge. Complementary beer, soda and water are provided as you enjoy your 2 hour sail down the Hudson river.
