Good Morning America

Mornings are a little less rough in the summer. So bite the bullet and start yours with a free concert and a shot (or five) of espresso. Shows are held rain or shine at Rumsey Playfield in Central Park. Doors open at 6 AM every Friday. Revisit your frat basement memories at Flo Rida (May 27) and Pitbull (June 3), revisit middle school memories with Blink 182 (July 1) and enjoy other highlights like Sia (July 22).

Broke Girl Tip: In case you need reassurance that the crack of dawn shlep to midtown is worth it, head over from Central Park to one of our many affordable brunch picks to ring in the weekend early.
