As the sizzling warmth of spring commence, numerous lively events sprout throughout the season. Let’s spring into the priceless events happening this week!
Putting the old saying to rest, May flowers can actually be encountered in April at Brooklyn Botanic Garden! If you’re anything like me, you like things that are free. All day on Tuesdays and 10 am to 12 noon on Saturdays, you can let loose, frolic, relax and revel in the beauty of nature. In celebration of the birth of spring, the Botanic Garden has assembled centuries-old Japanese custom, Cherry-blossoming viewing. What better way to enjoy your time luxuriating in the finest flowers for free! When you’re finished you can stop at any local restaurants or thrift stores nearby to top off your day.
Now who said the fun in Brooklyn has to stop there? From 5 pm to 11 pm on Saturday, BAM (Brooklyn Arts Museum) will be opening their doors for free so New Yorkers can relish in their monthly First Saturday event!
