With the mercury hitting 90* and humidity topping 95% (real feel = 100*), it’s hard to stay polished. No matter how pristine you are stepping out from the apt, the train from hell subway ensures that you’ll be shining like a disco ball wherever you arrive. Fear not, though, this is not our first time at this rodeo. This week we bring you the coolest, chillest plans to survive the dog days of summer in style: Crisp (& free) Italian craft beer and pizza in Williamsburg; Rosé and fresh seafood in Madison Square Park; oh and how about some float therapy and cryotherapy? Forget being sweaty and welcome to Pure. Bliss.
$120 For Five Spin Classes, Water & Shoe Rental At Peloton
When it’s like this, *the* best place to wait out the heat wave is inside a swanky, fully air-conditioned gym. Enter Peloton, the hallowed temple of rock-hard bodies that make sweating look super sexy.
6/19 Free Italian Craft Beer & Pizza
Italia, the land of exquisite beaches, delicious wines and gelato. Of course they know how to withstand the heat in the most glam-tastic way possible. Join Birra Antoniana and Wburg hotspot Diviera Drive for a free beer and pizza night - yes, rub your eyes and read it again. Because it’s true.
$75 For A Shellfish Platter & Bottle of Rose For Two At Black Barn
Speaking of unbelievably chic and at the same time, cooling, how about a towering tray of shellfish paired with some chilled French Rose while gazing at Madison Square Park? It’s pretty much the only logical choice of food in 90* weather.
