How the Public Works Team is Celebrating NYC this Summer

By Bebe LeGardeur

May 31, 2021

A deep love for New York City is one of the unifying forces that has brought many of us to Public Works Partners. As we look to the summer, we are all feeling ready to go out and celebrate the City, from the food and nightlife scenes we’ve all missed to the social elements of life in a city of 8.4 million that were impossible for the past year. We asked the team what they love most about summer in NYC and what they’re most looking forward to.

What we’ll be doing this summer
