The heatwave is a reminder of NYC’s best activity: Staying inside

In other cities, they water flowers.

Here in New York, however, we water the sidewalk to rid our front doors of the putrid smell of garbage that has been rotting in the sun for hours. 

Mmmmm! That’s the ubiquitous fragrance of summer in NYC (well, other than pot), which officially began on Friday. 

But you wouldn’t know that the scorcher season’s just started from the past several days — it’s practically August already.

Our current heatwave, which has walloped sweaty citizens with daily highs into the mid-90s, is a useful reminder of where the best place to be in NYC is all year long.

Indoors.
