Live at the Archway is a weekly cabaret from June-September below the Manhattan Bridge with different musical performers and artistic pop-up shows. All ages are welcome, and the gig is on whether rain or shine. For an easy (and free) community-type experience, you can't miss summers under the archway. Check their lineup for the 2018 season at their website here.

Afterward, head to the One Hotel rooftop for a cocktail and stunning views of the Brooklyn Bridge and Manhattan skyline. You can make a reservation on their site, but non-hotel guests are charged a $20 entry fee. Trust us, it's worth it for the sunset Instagram.
