Sure the weather might be warmer, but longer days mean more time for exploring the everything that makes the city so unique, from our world-class museums to locally owned boutiques lining historic thoroughfares. And as those days give way into breezy evenings, you can expect nights full of bustling live music and best-meal-ever dining opportunities.
