1. Go see thousands of balloons at Lincoln Center this week. The art installation is open to the public through February 25. 

2. Go walk through Washington Square Park this spring. Don’t miss the 1895 Washington Arch, modeled after Paris’s Arc de Triomphe. 

3. One of your New York bucket list items should be seeing a show at Madison Square Garden. This month, it’s hosting Billy Joel and Knicks games.
