(1) Brandon Cruz, 29, Scuba Diving Instructor, Queens
Reading a book in the park, biking in the city, barbecuing with family.

Walking around New York City, participating in fairs like book fairs, [and] attending food festivals.

(3) Ran Curry, 71, Retired, Manhattan
Sitting here, watching people, and shopping in the stores.

(4) Iris Bar-Hava, 39, Organizational Consultant, Tel-Aviv, Israel
I hardly stay here on the weekend, but if I have work during the weekend, and have to stay in New York, I would go rollerblading in Central Park, and eat good Japanese sushi.

(5) Tamar Rahmani, 40, Religious Worker in the Jewish Community, Brooklyn
I enjoy seeing the Empire state Building, and also going to the swimming pool, but shopping is the last thing I want to do. Sometimes I like to take cruises along the city. I love the city.
