🌸 Spring in New York: 10 Things You Shouldn’t Miss in May 2025
There’s something magical about New York in the spring. The parks are blooming, rooftops are buzzing again, and every street feels alive. If you’re visiting in May 2025 or you’re a local looking for inspiration, here are 10 unforgettable things to do this month in the Big Apple.

1. Catch the Cherry Blossoms in Central Park
The cherry blossoms hit their peak early May. Head to the Conservatory Garden or around the Reservoir for picture-perfect pink and white blooms.
2. Smorgasburg Is Back!
Brooklyn’s famous open-air food market is in full swing. Try everything from truffle fries to Caribbean jerk tacos at this weekend foodie heaven.
3. Rooftop Cinema Club at Pier 17
Watch cult classics or new releases under the stars, with a view of the Brooklyn Bridge. Bring a blanket — the breeze can be chilly!
4. Stroll Through the West Village
Take a slow walk through one of Manhattan’s most charming neighborhoods. Think cobblestone streets, blooming brownstone stoops, and cozy cafes.
5. Picnic at Prospect Park
Grab bagels, lox, and cold brew and settle into Prospect Park for a peaceful spring afternoon. It’s Brooklyn’s answer to Central Park (and less crowded!).
6. Go Museum-Hopping on the Upper East Side
Rainy day? Hit the Met, the Guggenheim, or the Neue Galerie. Bonus: Most have spring exhibitions running in May.
7. Ride the Roosevelt Island Tram
It’s a $4 round trip for one of the most unique views of the city skyline — especially beautiful during golden hour.
8. Dine Al Fresco in Little Italy
Spring is the perfect season for outdoor pasta and wine on Mulberry Street. Try the handmade gnocchi at Rubirosa!
9. Experience Fleet Week (May 21–27)
See Navy ships dock in Manhattan and catch live demonstrations, parades, and performances along the Hudson.
10. Attend a Free Concert at Bryant Park
Live music is back in Midtown! From jazz to indie pop, you can catch talented artists for free — just bring a blanket and your favorite snacks.

Final Tip
Wear layers! May in NYC is unpredictable — sunny and 22°C one minute, rainy and cold the next.
