Summer Streets 2023

On the first 3 Saturday mornings in August, a series of streets in Manhattan are closed to cars (and therefore open to cyclists and runners and pedestrians!), from 7am to 1pm, so people can enjoy and celebrate their city in a unique way. The current route runs from just north of the Brooklyn Bridge up to 125th St in Harlem.

Run by the DOT (Department of Transportation), the program's goal was to help New Yorkers imagine transportation and streetscape alternatives.

While this video focuses on the Manhattan Summer Streets, this year also marked the first time Summer Streets dates were made available for the other 4 boroughs of the city.
