Make It A Museum Moment
The easiest way to get lost for ours while enjoying some very good air conditioning? Hit a museum! While any of the city's educational destinations will do, we'll always prefer the Met, especially now that its rooftop has reopened. Explore the galleries while the sun's at its worst, then head up for a sunset drink complete with rooftop breezes and sweeping views of Central Park and the skyline. Stay cool - and cultured.
