Labor Day Ideas NYC

The summer is pretty much almost over, and Labor Day Weekend is a good time to bid the summer a farewell. Here are some ideas to keep you cool and busy!

New York International Salsa Dance & Music Festival - The saucy and feisty dance from Latin America comes north to New York City to stir the passions in all of us. ¡Ay ay ay!

Electric Zoo Festival  - New York—just like the rest of the world—goes gaga for EDM (electronic dance music) and shows its love at this annual three-day dayglo rave-up on Randall’s Island.
