Stay Cool

Here are my top 5 ways to stay cool in the stifling heat this summer:

1. Go to a movie theater. It's air conditioned (hopefully) and you are entertained for 2 hours (hopefully again). I'm looking forward to Inception, the new Leonardo DiCaprio movie opening July 16.

2. Swim at a public pool. The NYC Department of Parks & Recreation has opened outdoor pools all around the boroughs for you. I haven't gone yet but I plan to check out the one in Red Hook.

3. Go to the beach. New York magazine has made it easy for you with their ultimate beach finder in it's 2010 Summer Issue. They offer destinations an hour, 2 hours or 3 hours away.

4. Check out a water park. There are about eight water parks in New York to bring out the kid in you.

5. Eat an icy! The great thing about NYC is that there is always either an Italian ice cart, ice cream truck, frozen yogurt store or smoothie shop nearby. And many restaurants have put gourmet sorbets or ice creams on their dessert menu this time of year. It's a quick cool down and a yummy treat. I've had one of these about every day so far this summer :)
