It's about that time of year. Fire hydrants are open, the coco mango cherry guy is out, and yes, so are the beach chairs. It's summer in New York City and here are ten things only you can understand.
1. The 181st train station elevator
you already know the deal if you've had to take the 1 train. It's a sauna.
2. Having to choose between mango or cherry icees
and dealing with the thirst water cannot quench after eating it.
3. Everyone is outside no matter what time it is
The city literally never sleeps.
4. Attending the parade in your best attire
5. Dealing with tourists
I do not care how far you have traveled, I will ruin all of your selfies because I need to go places.
6. The person who tries to squeeze themselves between you and the train door
Yeah, I'm not trying to have your sticky skin touch mine so don't even try it.
7. That feeling of relief when walking into stores during a heat wave
Three words: industrial air conditioners.
