Midsummer

Coney Island

"New York lay stretched in midsummer languor under her trees in her thinnest dress, idly and beautifully to the eyes of her lover."
E.B. White, Poems and Sketches of E.B. White

Everything but Manhattan

Jane's Carousel and Manhattan skyline

"To foreigners, New York is strictly Manhattan, whereas to most New Yorkers, New York is everything but Manhattan."
Holly-Jane Rahlens, Becky Bernstein Goes Berlin

New York August

"A typical New York August is so hot and humid that those of us still here have the city to ourselves. Which is awesome in its own way. No lines at the post office. Getting a table for brunch at Friend of a Farmer right away. Sailing through Trader Joe's and Whole Foods without bumping at least three other people with your basket."
