Spring things to do in NYC: Bird walks, a sky-high dip and a golden ticket
NY Post
As New York City defrosts, it’s not just the tulips blooming — the city’s bursting back to life with something for everyone.
From poetic open mics to high-flying bird walks in Central Park, the five boroughs are buzzing with fresh, only-in-NYC ways to shake off the seasonal slumber.
Whether you’re sipping a “Melondrama” mocktail inspired by the Broadway hit “The Picture of Dorian Gray” at Lillie’s Victorian or spotting warblers with a naturalist on a sunset stroll in Central Park, these are some of the most unique options to help you hatch a plan this spring season.
From seed to table, let your sproutlings dig in and explore the great outdoors at the Queens Botanical Garden (43-50 Main St., Flushing) Spring Kids Programs.
Each weekend this spring, the outdoor festivities let little ones plant veggies, make art, cook up recipes and more — rain or shine — as they play, learn and make new friends.
Sessions run May 10, 11, 17, 18, 24, 25, 31 and June 1, 7 and 8. Tickets available via Eventbrite.

One shop in a fading industry has feathered the storm.
For inflation-ravaged New Yorkers, the Queens Night Market has long been a lush oasis in an affordable food desert — offering a global array of gut-busting gourmet dishes for less than the cost of a sad skinny latte in Midtown.
