Welcome, dear friends, to July in NYC, where the days are hotter, the mornings brighter, the nights longer, and the hours somehow even more jam-packed with phenomenal Things to Do. From exhibits dedicated to nothing but dope sneakers to open-water kayaking to streetside Shakespeare performances, this month has more great events than Albany's got corruption. So open your window, grab a beverage and meet us out in the sunlight; it's time to make some plans.
