With finals in our rear-view mirror, we now get to look ahead to a summer full of both relaxation and excitement.

One of the best things about Binghamton University is that it is only three hours away from Manhattan and for most of us Long Islanders and New Jerseyers, we are only a mere half an hour train ride outside the city that never sleeps, where the streets are paved with gold, and where dreams are made into reality. That means we get to enjoy the pleasures of strolling around Central Park eating Mr. Softee ice cream, enjoying an exhibit at the MoMA or Met, grabbing a latté in a café down in trendy Soho, shopping in one of my favorite areas of New York—Chelsea, or watching an outdoor movie just beneath the Brooklyn Bridge.

Here are five outfits I would wear into the city for a day of fun.
