JUNE 1–30
Fifty years ago, on June 28, 1969, a police raid on the Stonewall Inn, a gay bar in Greenwich Village, sparked a week of rioting and protests. Gay men and women were at last fighting for their civil rights, and LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer) history would never be the same again. This month, as NYC Pride welcomes WorldPride in a monthlong commemoration of the Stonewall Uprising, the city flies the rainbow flag. 2019-worldpride-stonewall50.nycpride.org

Island Hopping
As the song says, Manhattan is an “isle of joy.” But it’s not alone. New York City is an archipelago. The Big Apple’s five boroughs contain more than their fair share of land masses—as many as 40—surrounded by water. Some are small, others are substantial. Here’s a concise tour of the most accessible. Our advice? Be adventurous and visit them all.

Dining & Imbibing With A View
In broad daylight on a side street or by the light of the silvery moon on a rooftop, dining and drinking alfresco in NYC is an experience not to be missed. ere’s something about summer that brings out the creativity in local chefs and mixologists and drives them to excellence. And consider this: With the skyline spread out before you or even just an intimate piece of it, there’s no denying where you are. So, make the most of the weather, the cuisine and the locale.
