Spike Lee and BAM are debuting a brand-new festival celebrating all things Brooklyn is one of our hand-picked Events finds for New York. The new two-day event will bring film screenings, a free block party, live performances and conversations with cultural icons to BAM this No.
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.
