NEWS & NOTES
New York City, New York
SUMMER IN THE CITY
Since New York City never sleeps, there are plenty of opportunities to experience the energy of the
Big Apple. And summer is the best time to take in all that the city has to offer, from the many stores,
restaurants, and museums (there are more than 80 across the five boroughs) to iconic spots such
as Times Square, Central Park, and Rockefeller Center. With so many attractions, deciding what to
see and do can be daunting. Here are some not-to-be-missed activities and events that are worth
adding to your New York City itinerary:
Daytona Beach Area, Florida
SANDY SINGALONGS
A trip to Daytona Beach always sounds like a good idea, but things will really start to rock in May when
the 2018 Bandshell Summer Concert Series begins. Live shows take place at 7 p.m. every Friday and
Saturday night through September in the renowned coquina amphitheater that dates back to 1937 —
and is positioned mere steps from the surf. Saturday performances are free and followed by a fireworks
display. Splurge for the Friday-night VIP ticket — still just $10 (regular admission is $3 on Fridays) —
and you’ll get a reserved seat. Snacks and beverages also are available.

BERKSHIRES,
MASSACHUSETTS
FANCIFUL AMERICANA
With an endless rotation of displays and
an always-impressive lineup of visiting
exhibits, the Norman Rockwell Museum
should make your must-do Berkshires
itinerary every time you’re in the area. This
spring, Never Abandon Imagination: The
Fantastical Art of Tony DiTerlizzi, which
runs through May 28, will delight fans of
The Spiderwick Chronicles and DiTerlizzi’s
other works. Equally striking, Gloria Stoll
Karn’s unmistakable 1940s-era dime store
magazine-cover art is featured in a display
fittingly titled Pulp Romance until June 10.
Myrtle Beach Safari is known for
providing guests with an up-close
wildlife encounter that most zoos
simply can’t match. For example,
depending on when you visit, you
may get to feed an elephant, inter-
act with an ape, or play with tiger
cubs. And things get even wilder
on the newest tour, a night safari
billed as an “active adventure,”
during which animals’ noctur-
nal behaviors can be observed.
The night safari tour is typically
available Saturdays from March to
June, and requires reservations.
