NYC FOR FREE WEEKLY ROUNDUP
Note from Rebeka: Can’t believe June is almost over and its about to be the 4th of July! Anyone else feel like summer is flying by (and is especially rainy this year?)
This week, there aren’t many brand popups due to the holiday weekend, but there’s a lot to enjoy in NYC for 4th of July. Whether you are traveling or staying local, have a great long holiday weekend!
