The Great Nosh Festival

Set in a vibrant park atmosphere, this one-of-a-kind picnic brings together some of NYC’s most celebrated restaurants and chefs for exclusive collaborations you won't find anywhere else. Imagine Thai Diner teaming up with Katz’s Deli, or Russ & Daughters pairing their classics with Morgenstern’s ice cream delights.

Tourists will love the chance to sample specially created dishes from exciting culinary match-ups like Atoboy x Apollo Bagels and Zahav x Dame. Beyond the food, The Great Nosh offers immersive art installations and playful cultural activities inspired by Jewish traditions, with a modern twist. There's even a magical “Malka’s Enchanted Garden,” where celebrity chefs Eyal Shani and Jake Cohen serve up edible creativity.

Wine lovers can relax at The Four Horsemen pop-up wine bar, while crafters can get hands-on at Susan Alexandra’s “Summer Camp” beading workshop. Families and foodies alike will enjoy "Grandma’s Tent," hosted by beloved culinary personalities Gail Simmons and Pati Jinich. Whether you’re a curious traveller or a devoted foodie, this joyful event is a delicious slice of NYC summer not to be missed

Around The Web

Visit Castle Williams

Castle Williams is a circular defensive work of red sandstone on the west point of Governors Island in New York Harbor. It was designed and erected between 1807 and 1811, designed by the Chief Engineer of the US Army Corps of Engineers, Lt. Col. Jonathan Williams, for whom the fort is named, and considered a prototype for new forms of coastal fortification

A True Island Experience

Island Oyster is a one-of-a-kind summer destination in New York City, featuring easy-going summer fare, a tropically inspired cocktail program and panoramic views of New York Harbor and downtown Manhattan

Luxury Glamping on Governors Island

Enjoy harbour views and open skies in stylish tents and suites designed for comfort and connection. Choose from nature-inspired or fully enclosed stays with breakfast, ferry access, and nightly s’mores by the fire

A Car-Free Oasis

Start your trip to Governors Island by taking a quick ferry ride from either Lower Manhattan or Brooklyn Bridge park. Once you arrive, head to one of the three Citi Bike Stations on the island and use your bike key or pre-purchased ride pass to begin

Head to Ham­mock Grove

Head to Ham­mock Grove to relax and swing in the Island’s icon­ic red ham­mocks, open year-round. Kick back in peace­ful nooks among this young urban for­est or explore our tucked away walk­ing paths. You may even see the Stat­ue of Lib­er­ty and the Low­er Man­hat­tan sky­line peek­ing over you

Broadway Beyond the Big Shows

New York’s bright lights don’t stop at Times Square. For every blockbuster Broadway production, there are smaller stages offering unforgettable stories, historic venues that shaped American theatre, and intimate performances that bring audiences closer to the action. Step off the tourist trail and into the world of Off-Broadway magic, where creativity thrives beyond the curtain call.

Whether you're keen to explore theatre history, discover rising stars, or score last-minute tickets without breaking the bank, this guide invites you to see a different side of the stage. It's not just about what’s playing—it’s about how theatre lives and breathes in the heart of New York
