Happy Friday! It’s going to be another steamer of an August weekend here in NYC. A smattering of thunderstorms this evening won’t do much to take the heat down, as we’re looking straight at temps reaching 95 degrees tomorrow. On Sunday, it’s expected to reach 97 degrees. So what should you do to stay breezy and glam in this weather? Best Greek dinner ever, a wild tropical party in Brooklyn, and more. And here’s our pick for your weekend outfit that can take you anywhere.
Best way to stay cool in the heat? Crop top with built in ventilation, mini skirt. Boom.
Friday Dinner at Kavala
You’re going to want to hang on the other side of East River tonight, so start with a festive Mediterranean dinner at Kavala Estiatorio. This LIC hotspot features some of the best Greek foods in the city that can be enjoyed in a verdant outdoor patio or a lovely, beach-y dining room.
Friday Tropical Metropolis Party at the House of Yes
You fight heat with more heat! Take the sultriness to the next level with a tropics-inspired shindig at the House of Yes, Brooklyn’s favorite burlesque warehouse.
Saturday Morning Zip Lining & Water Slides
Summer Streets returns to NYC again: find zip lining, rock climbing, music, dancing, and other block party-style fun from 7am until 1pm, from Brooklyn Bridge Park to Central Park. For cooling off, nothing better than water sliding in the middle of Park Avenue South!
Sunday Brunch at Gentilly
You know what people do in the South where it’s actually, really hot? They just put on a hat and make themselves some lemonade…or better still, unbelievably delish brunch cocktails like the Gentilly 64. Pair with some Creole and Southern classic dishes including the Fried Chicken & Pimento Waffles, a sweet and savory masterpiece.
Sunday R&R at LeYork Spa
Cool off and restore your heat-weary mind and body at the tranquil SoHo favorite. One of the most spacious and elegant spas in Downtown, a facial and a massage combo is just what you needed.
Have a good weekend, NYC!
