Classes start after Labor Day, that means students still have a whole month to enjoy NYC without the worry of essays and exams looming over. So put aloe vera on your burns and savor your last bit of summer with good food and better beaches.
Coney Island Friday Night Fireworks, every Friday at 9:30 p.m.
Coney Island is known for its hot dogs and boardwalks, but you can turn the summer festivities into a holiday every Friday in August. After work, take the Q down to Coney Island and ride the Thunderbolt and grab dinner at Nathan’s Famous before you head to the Boardwalk to watch the light’s show.
