People don’t give us enough credit—New Yorkers are active and competitive people. Summer has officially sprung when the city’s parks come back to life. Emerging from the dead of winter, the sounds of handball, stickball, tennis, soccer, children playing, and basketball take over the city soundscape. Similar to our crown jewel arenas, Madison Square Garden and Yankee Stadium, we have The Cage on West 4th Street. If you’re lucky, you’ll catch the undeniable intensity in the air.
