A crazy-long pastry table is coming to Greenpoint to help you carbo-load before the NYC Marathon is one of our hand-picked Events finds for New York. Runners, neighbors and carb enthusiasts are invited to a free, bring-your-own-pastry potluck alongside McCarren Park on October 24.
Why New York? New York is the ultimate dense, 24-hour city — five boroughs of iconic skyline, world culture and neighborhood-deep diversity. The city is known for the skyline and Times Square, Broadway, museums and global food.
Good to know: Spring and autumn are ideal; December dazzles for holidays; summer is hot and humid. The 24-hour subway is the fastest way around; Manhattan and much of Brooklyn are very walkable.
