Spring is in the air here in Brooklyn! It’s time to shed those protective layers, put away that winter jacket, and enjoy the warm weather!

Whether it be taking a walk through park or playing your trumpet while people are trying to relax on a nearby bench (as seen in this photograph) – the objective is to go outside and enjoy yourself. What are your favorite things to do when winter ends and springtime begins? Let us know in the comments!
