Slip and slide the day away

Did you ever want to slide through the streets of New York City in an inner tube? Well, now you can!

New this year to Summer Streets is the water slide, where you can slush and speed down the avenue in a tube or without one — it’s your choice.

Presented by Vita Coco Coconut Water, the ride is new to the Summer Streets, where every year visitors can truly make the streets their own. From Brooklyn Bridge to Central Park there are play, fitness, and relaxation stations with interactive events for every age.

Slide the City, Aug. 1, 8, and 15 from 7 am to 1 pm. Free. Participants must register in advance online.

Vita Cocoa Coconut Water at Foley Square Rest Stop (Duane Street and Centre Street in the Financial District; www.nyc.gov/summerstreets).
