SummerStage offers one of the most amazingly enjoyable ways to spend a summer evening in Central Park. It offers a lineup of talent that is so exuberantly varied that even the most eclectic of tastes can find something suitably obscure and cool (and I mean obscure and cool like discovering the Bird and the Bee before your other downtown friends, not Norwegian rap groups.) It is also almost always free, which is great, especially when you imagine the diversity in the possible environments that manifest in Central Park during mid-summer: balmy, breezy, starry skies vs. overcast terrarium.

I love SummerStage – it consistently features artists that can’t be seen anywhere else in New York’s mainstream. Keep up the good work!
