Looking for the best things to do in New York City this Memorial Day weekend? Here are some family-friendly events and activities to add to your list for this long holiday weekend.
Memorial Day weekend heralds the return of Fleet Week, and NYC is looking positively ship-shape. The Prospect Park Zoo reopens in Brooklyn, and 14 miles of NYC beaches are ready to welcome sandcastle builders, waders, and body surfers as the weekend marks the unofficial start of summer. Come Monday, Memorial Day parades march through Brooklyn and Queens.
