It’s finally the annual Macy’s Flower Show—now through April 10—a signal that spring has most definitely arrived in NYC. Outside, its entire Broadway facade is covered in flowers to create a rainbow-like spray with its windows dressed to match. […]

Located on the Westside, the Works has a barbecue, beer, ax throwing, a food hall, and more. But it doesn’t have a dedicated cocktail bar—yet.
