A friend from out of state asked me “What is summer like in New York City?” How do you even begin to answer that question? For me, summer in New York City is like Forrest Gump’s box of chocolates, you really don’t know what you are gonna get! Don’t believe me? Plan on attending any of the 33 concerts and 8 benefit shows making up this year’s Summer Stage Concert Series, and you will get a taste of all the rich cultures that make this melting pot of a city. For a complete list of who is performing on Central Park’s main stage as well as city-wide, visit Summer Stage’s website. You can thank us later!
