NYC like in the 1920s

Get your fringe, feathers, and suspenders ready—NYC’s most glamorous time-travel picnic returns Aug 10–11 ✨

The Jazz Age Lawn Party is one of the most unique summer events in the city. Governors Island transforms into a full 1920s escape: think live jazz, dance lessons, vintage fashion, and picnic blankets as far as the eye can see.

Whether you go all out with a flapper look or just come for the vibes, it’s the kind of day you’ll remember (and overpost) forever. Grab your crew, pack a picnic, and prepare to twirl like it’s prohibition.

🗓️ August 10–11, 11AM–5PM

📍Governors Island

🎟️ Tickets still available

⛴️ 10-min ferry from Manhattan #lemon8partner

Printemps NYC
The newly opened French luxury store in Wall Street, NYC. Honestly, I was hoping for more floors with variety of clothing and accessories. This felt similar to other high-end stores, like Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue, or Bergdorf Goodman. It’s a cool experience, but nothing too wowing for me.
