It’s not too late to see cherry blossoms bloom in New York City

Catch them before they’re gone!

Last year, we showed you the 23 best places to see cherry blossoms in the United States. We even shared some fun facts about cherry blossoms. Today, the cherry blossom celebration continues with this short and sweet guide on where and when to see cherry blossoms in New York City’s one and only Central Park.

Central Park’s cherry blossom trees delight visitors and locals alike. While April ushers in the bright blooms of the Yoshino cherry trees, park guests can also enjoy the more colorful Kwanzan cherry trees in early May. Find your way to some of Central Park’s top cherry blossom spots with this interactive map that the park debuted this year. Learn more about the park’s cherry blossom offerings and get a sneak peek at the beauty in the gallery below.

These 5 outdoor experiences are all within an hour of NYC

Explore outside the city.

New York City has something for everyone, and that includes outdoorsy people. Outside the labyrinth of skyscrapers and sidewalks, there are some pretty outstanding adventures waiting for you.

You don’t have to travel far from NYC for a great escape into nature. Nearby Harriman State Park offers fishing, camping, and mountain biking opportunities. Birders can cross state lines into New Jersey to visit Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge. And if you don’t want to leave city limits, Central Park is an excellent place for a walk. These aren’t your only options, though. For a new and exciting hiking, kayaking, or bouldering experience, try these five spots that are all an hour or less away from NYC.

Aimé Leon Dore features NBA guard Jose Alvarado in Fall/Winter 2022 campaign, and it’s brilliant

Grand Theft Alvarado for ALD?!

New Orleans Pelicans guard Jose Alvarado stars in the latest campaign for New Balance and Aimé Leon Dore, the popular Lower East Side menswear store.

The undrafted guard from Georgia Tech is originally from Brooklyn and he attended Christ The King High School — the same school as Sue Bird and Lamar Odom.

Alvarado, who is known for hiding on the court and sneaking up to force turnovers, is first seen practicing free throws at the ALD / NB Masaryk Community Gym on the Lower East Side in Manhattan. He then watches game highlights with his mother as she tells him she always knew he was going to be special.

We then see some beautiful shots of New York City as Alvarado talks about the tenacious basketball culture that he grew up around. He also discusses his father’s boxing career and creating his own legacy.

“My goal was to take this orange ball as far I can,” Alvarado says.

Despite going undrafted out of college, the former Georgia Tech standout cracked the rotation for the Pelicans during his first year in the league. He played an instrumental role for the team during their postseason run.

Alvarado played AAU basketball for the legendary NY Rens program, but this campaign is a collaboration with Team SONNY, a 15U AAU basketball team.

Visual artist Tyrrell Winston, who we profiled earlier this year, has an installation at the flagship Aimé Leon Dore store. Mike Sykes reviewed the ALD 550 for our sneaker show, Special Delivery.
