Five Things to Do During the Final Days of Summer

With two weeks until the close of the summer season, Patch came up with a list of must-do's before school starts.

 

Labor Day is a mere two weeks away, which means it's time to start soaking in those last long days of summer. Here, our list of must-dos to make the most of the warm weather. 

 

What: The Edible Garden

When: From now until October 17

Where: New York Botanical Gardens, Bronx

Why it must be done before September 6th:  Nothing says summer like fresh fruits, vegetables, and herbs. At the New York Botanical Garden in the Bronx, spend some time looking through their vegetable gardens, watch expert demonstrations on gardening and catch one of their exciting programs that display al the beauty that nature provides.

What: Ice Cream

When: As soon as possible

Where: Pane & Gelato, Eastchester

Why it must be done before September 6th: As any kid will tell you, ice cream is synonymous with summer—a sweet, quick, treat to cool you down on hot days.  At Eastchester's Pane e Gelato, experience Italian-infused gelato flavors like biscotti, espresso, and pistachio.

Why not go to the last Bronxville Chamber of Commerce Concert Series? Sponsored by Bronxville-Ley Realtors, the concert will feature LFP as the headlining act.
