New York City can be overwhelming at times, but still is one of the most popular, famous, and amazing cities in the country. There are over a thousand things that you can spend your time in the Big Apple doing, but these are some of the most popular things to do.

1. Go to the High Line

This amazing space, created in 2009, is the home to many paintings, creations, artwork, and gardens that stretch down above Chelsea. There is nothing better to do than relax and watch the High Line and take in the beautiful scenery it has to offer.

Especially during the summer, there is nowhere better to go than the High Line.

2. Take a stroll through Central Park


Central Park is the home to the city's most famous and beautiful park. Whether you walk your dog through the park all day long enjoying the ponds and views, or you go for a run to get exercise, there is nothing wrong with just walking through the park to get an aspect of what there is to see.

There is plenty of cool and different things you'll discover by spending the day in the park.

3. Take a trip to The Metropolitan Museum of Art

This museum, located in the Upper East Side, is the home to over 5,000 years of artwork from all over the world. The "Met" offers a cheap price while being a source of inspiration for many aspiring artists or even just random stragglers to get a look at artwork that they might never be able to see anywhere else.

4. Watch Shakespeare in the Park

Many aren't aware of a little treasure hidden in the park called "Free Shakespeare in the Park" which is home to different plays that are put on for anyone who decides to take a seat.

By simply making your way to Central Park, where free tickets are disturbed during the afternoon, while performances normally occur that night.

Different types of shows that are put on are The Tempest, The Taming of the Shrew, Love's Labour Lost, and many more plays are upcoming this summer.

5. The Chelsea Market

The Chelsea Market is located in the old Nabisco factory and is home to food, shopping, and especially flea shops that are visited by thousands everyday. Different foods, upscale shopping with different types of stores and options, and even events such as "pop up shops" and sales.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.

There are multiple group projects on the syllabus

You learn attendance is mandatory and will be taken every class

Professor starts chatting about their personal life and what inspired them to teach this class

Participation is mandatory and you have to play "icebreaker games"

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not
