Here's what Here Be Barr suggests you do in NYC in the summer:


It makes sense to head outdoors with it being summer, but don't miss out on the museums that provide indoor culture. Mix with the locals and check out the New York restaurants and their local culinary delights. Experience New York as more than just a tourist to be part of what is happening.
