Fashion week is quickly approaching, and we know that the catwalk is covered in upcoming spring trends and couture.  We also know that you cannot be front row at all your favorite shows.  What is happening behind the scenes can be your ticket to fashion week success.  Through the ever-popular social media sphere, we can all keep up with what magic unfolds this September.

Summer is not over yet, folks!  There are still a few weeks to pack in items on your “to-do” list that you have yet to cross off.  There is so much to do in New York in the summer.  Free concerts, however, should top your list.  With New York’s abundance of free summer concerts, you can soak up as much fresh air and as many groovy tunes as your heart desires.  Oh! And don’t forget your dancing shoes.

Independence Day is quickly approaching.  Have you made plans to celebrate the holiday?  One thing is for sure; fireworks are a must. Macy’s annual fireworks show will return to the East River.  This is great news for all of you in the outer boroughs east of Manhattan.  But in a sea of New Yorkers, you have to pick your viewing location wisely.  We can’t all have front row seats on the bank of the river.  Instead, SNOWMAN is bringing you info on myriad viewing opportunities, from tranquil spots to rowdy night scenes. Take the opportunity to experience 4th of July fireworks in style.

We all know that Urbanites get sick of the usual at the deli, and now that the sun is out, there is no need to trek through the cold to get your usual. Mix it up and enjoy the weather with one of the city’s best for lunch: Broadway Bites!

What’s up next for SNOWMAN? An entirely new partnership.  Introducing SNOWMAN benefitting LIVESTRONG, a new project to raise money and awareness for a great cause. This is an opportunity for both the SNOWMAN brand and our loyal customers to connect with and support our communities.  So get shopping!  5% of each Trooper jacket pre-sold from the 42 Collection, FW14/15, will benefit the LIVESTRONG foundation.

What’s the hottest ticket under the NYC sun?  This coming weekend’s Governor’s Ball, of course!  Tickets are officially sold out for Governor’s Ball 2014 with the exception of a few Super VIP and Cabanas.

Held annually on Randall’s Island, Governor’s Ball is New York’s most famous music festival.  With three jam-packed days of tunes, this is a haven for music-lovers, party-lovers, and general urban enthusiasts.  Welcome to summer in New York City!  Libations will be flowing, music will be blaring, and thousands upon thousands of eager attendees will be having a blast.

There are many fabulous ways to travel in style on bikes in the city. With Citi Bike and countless other independent bike shops, finding a ride is the easiest part. Choosing a route is another matter, but you really can’t go wrong with two wheels beneath you. Biking is a great way to remember that sometimes, the best part of getting from A to B is the journey itself.
