IT'S SUMMERTIME IN NEW YORK CITY

Get Out & About During The Day - Head For Broadway In The Evening

It's Summertime in that city of New York - so why not join the locals and hit the streets, then put your feet up with a top Broadway show in the evening.

British holidaymakers heading there in June can have the luxury of walking down 23 car-free blocks on the evening of June 10 from 6pm to 9pm.

There's a whole chunk of New York that's going to be without a single yellow cab between 82^ndand 105^thstreets and you get free access to museums such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Gugenheim, The Africa Centre, and many others.

The Museum Mile is the perfect way to experience some of New York City's greatest museums for free, while keeping kids involved with the "Art-In-The-Street" projects.

There are lots of outdoor events too including movie and theatre, such as:

• Movie screenings in Bryant Park.
