It may not be summer just yet, but "summerlike" is the colorful word Accuweather is using to describe L.A.'s delightful forecast for the week, so we'll take it. As far as we are concerned, if it's shorts-and-sandals weather with the sun staying out well past the workday, aside from the absence of Lakers games since they put their historically horrendous season out of its misery in the first round of playoffs, there's almost no difference between the real thing. We strongly encourage you maximize these gorgeous days through one of our favorite pastimes in an open-air setting: happy hour-ing. After you've put in a full day's work (or even if you're funemployed), hit up one of L.A.'s seven best bars and restaurants for patio and rooftop happy hours where you can enjoy the summerlike air under the sunset with food and drinks for totally reasonable prices.

With 5 boroughs and countless neighborhoods, it's easy to get overwhelmed and fall into the tourist traps of the city from Times Square to the Statue of Liberty. When you want to see the New York that inspired Jay Z and Frank Sinatra to sing, you need an insider's advice. Look no further. We've put together a collection of the places and spaces of a New Yorker's New York!
