Of course, walking around Central Park and Smorgasburg is a must, but here are some other New York City events and things to do in NYC that you won’t want to miss!

Collective Design Fair – $15 and up
Skylight Clarkson Sq, Lower Manhattan, May 3rd – 7th
Of all the things to do in NYC, this draws the most interesting crowd and hosts some fascinating art exhibits. The fair brings together creative expressions from all over the world in a lively discourse, celebrating both modern and contemporary art and design. Along with the fair, there are also plenty of creative demonstrations and discussions about the creative process and how it unfolds.
Want to arrive at the event in style? Book a ride with Luxor Limo so people will whisper about you upon your arrival. Or, simply be whisked away to the Bronx for the game without having to worry about parking, or if you’d rather enjoy your beers during the game with the comfort of knowing that you have a ride home. Luxor will also customize your experience, so if you’d like to enjoy some champagne on your way to Collective Design, we’ll have a bottle (or more!) all chilled and ready to go as soon as you step into the vehicle.
