I love how I walk around the city and bump into so many musicians. It's nice to see them rocking in the street and stopping busy New Yorkers from walking.

Prospect Park is a great place to have a water balloon fight, a picnic, a jog, and play with other people's dogs.

I've seen so many great classic movies on film here. Being able to have that experience is one of the things that I feel lucky living in this city.

Dia:Beacon is a short train ride from the city in a former Nabisco box printing factory. This art foundation has 240,000 square feet of art from the 1960s to the present. Dia features the work of Sol LeWitt, Imi Knoebel, Andy Warhol, Dan Flavin, Agnes Martin, On Kawara, Bruce Nauman, and many others. I love going during the summer to enjoy the gardens surronding the building.

Try it out rooftop-cycling and find magical cactuses on the road!
