Just moved to New York? Pick your language: your first month step by step, and events you can go to on your own.
Look for migrating songbirds in the garden's trees and passing hawks overhead with local birdwatching author Ryan Goldberg, and talk about birding in the city. Free; bring binoculars if you have them.
A free, community-led 5K for runners and walkers of all levels: three loops along Shore Road in Bay Ridge with views of the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge. This week celebrates Hispanic Heritage Month — wear your home country's colours.
A special-access tour with the Urban Park Rangers and the Prospect Park Alliance: go inside the Soldiers' and Sailors' Memorial Arch and climb its spiral stairs to the top. Free, but registration is only through Open House New York.
Help the Randall's Island Park Alliance and the Billion Oyster Project count and measure wild oysters in the Little Hell Gate Salt Marsh — a hands-on way to meet people outdoors. Wear clothes and shoes that can get muddy. Free.
A free, community-led run or walk of about 3 miles from Pier 6, with views of the Brooklyn Bridge, the Statue of Liberty and the Lower Manhattan skyline. Open to all levels — many runners go for pizza together afterwards.
Every Tuesday the Amateur Astronomers Association sets up powerful telescopes on the High Line at 13th Street. No experience needed and no RSVP — just drop by after sunset. Cancelled if the sky is cloudy. Free.
