1. You can now get ice cream cupcakes in New York. Soft Swerve on the Lower East Side is collaborating with Brooklyn Cupcake on the hybrid dessert.

2. You need to go to Rockaway Beach this summer. Once you’re there, stop at Rockaway Brewing Company for the open mic night.

3. Go visit 30 Rockefeller Plaza. Even if you don’t win the Saturday Night Live ticket lottery this month, it’s worth seeing the iconic location.
