Five days off. Fifteen meals to resolve with sandwiches. 120 hours to sleep. Thousands of minutes to social distance. Or. Or. Hey, we could go outside. And do something. Like, in the city. Catch up on new bars (because it's really only new bars that have been opening during the special period, and not much else), visit an old favorite that's had a name change, find some place to park it and enjoy the weather (assuming no rain) and just... do stuff. Here's 20 suggestions for what stuff to do this May holiday, rain or shine.
