“I like New York in June,” or so begins the old musical number “How About You,” first sung by Judy Garland. We do too. Between SummerStage and summer Shakespeare, Walt Whitman and WorldPride celebrations, the City offers no shortage of activities to keep you entertained. We’ve handpicked 30 NYC events across 30 days and nights, covering music, egg creams, swing dancing and pun-making. So June in on the fun.
