On the Summertime Blues


When Beach Bums Bum You Out.

With all the temptations of the Big Apple, summertime is not always its strong suit. Sweltering subway heat, grimy beaches, and bumper-to-bumper weekend traffic can drive locals to relocate out west and summer vacations an excuse to escape. But for those who stick around, the options are limitless: picnics in the park, movies under the Brooklyn Bridge, and weekend excursions to nearby hiking trails. And before you know it, winter will be the new rage of the elevator commute and drinking beers on the Staten Island Ferry will be a place to stay warm instead of cool off. Until then, walk home for a change and treat yourself to the ice cream cone you've been eying because, hey, it's freakin' hot in New York and you might pass out if you don't. Enjoy!
