NYBG: The Orchid Show: Mexican Modernism

 No better way to usher in the spring season than a visit to the magical New York Botanical Garden. Located in  the Bronx, the sprawling lawns are the perfect place to spend an afternoon whether you're escaping the concrete jungle or coming from suburbia for the inspiring, manicured property. Each year, the Garden features an exhibition dedicated to the Orchid flower. This year's show is called Mexican Modernism. You wind through the fabulous green houses, losing yourself amongst the extensive collection of different orchids, juxtaposed with Mexican plants, such as the different species of Agave plants, as well as brightly colored walls - transporting guests to Mexico. The Orchid Show runs though April 27, 2025.

Topo Chico Mineral Water

Most don't associate Mexico with the best drinking water. Topo Chico Mineral Water will have you thinking otherwise. Mexico's most important drink, Topo Chico's beginnings are within a legend of a princess who, after contracting a disease, was cured with by the mineral water. As a beverage that is fit for a princess, it is certainly a beverage that is fit for non-royalty, too. Refreshing and delicious, Topo Chico is your go-to hydration drink.
