NYC Summer Streets
Summer Streets is an annual celebration of New York City's most valuable public space – our streets.
Summer Streets takes place on select Saturdays between 7am and 3pm. Miles of NYC’s streets are open in both directions for people to play, walk, and bike. Take a break along the route at one of our rest stops to enjoy free activities. Summer Streets provides space for healthy recreation and encourages New Yorkers to use more sustainable forms of transportation. In 2023, Summer Streets expanded to the five boroughs creating nearly 20 miles of Car-Free Streets.
Through the support of Lyft and Citi, Citi Bike will offer free day passes for all riders to enjoy unlimited 30-minute rides on a classic Citi Bike during Summer Streets. To redeem your free pass, enter promo code CITISUMMER24! on the “Daypass” tab of the Citi Bike app. While supplies last.

siggi’s
siggi’s started in 2005 when Siggi Hilmarsson felt homesick for a staple of his childhood diet: skyr. It’s a thick, creamy, high-protein yogurt from Iceland. Disappointed by what he thought to be overly sweet and artificial-tasting yogurts available in the U.S., Siggi turned to his mother’s recipe and began making skyr in his small New York City kitchen. It tasted like home. Within a few months, Siggi quit his day job and launched siggi’s. True to Icelandic tradition, all siggi’s yogurts are crafted with less —free from artificial flavorings and sweeteners. We are dedicated to creating delicious yogurts and plant-based products that are high in protein, made from simple ingredients, and not a lot of sugar, always.
Stonyfield Organic
As the country’s leading organic yogurt maker, Stonyfield believes that taking care of organic cows, farmers, and their lives’ work will produce healthy food, healthy businesses, and a healthy planet. Stonyfield, a Certified B-Corp, is also making a difference by helping to protect and preserve the next generation of farmers and families through programs like its Direct Milk Supply Program and Wolfe’s Neck Organic Training Program as well as #PlayFree, a nationwide, multi-year initiative to help keep families free from toxic persistent pesticides in outdoor spaces across the country.
