Summer Vacation in New York...in November
Off to New York to spend time with friends and imagine all the pools and beaches that will be dominated by Brazil Bikini next summer! November is hardly the time to bust out the bikinis in the Big Apple, but under all these layers of winterwear, the suggestion of skimpy synthetics is what will give New Yawkers hope for Spring. If you're escaping to the Empire City in July, add these hotspots to your list of places to don a bikini and cool it down, in no particular order:
- Tony Dapolito formerly known as Carmine Street Rec Center NYC - a west side institution
- John Jay Pool NYC - east siders, cool riders, cool pool
- Hotel Gansevoort (Paolistans will notice similarity to rooftop hotel @ Hotel Unique, SP BR)
- Rockaway Beach (surfing, skating, release your inner rocker child)
- Long Beach (free summer concert series, surfing schedule)
- Fire Island
- Jacob Riis Park Beach (deco bathhouse is begging for bikini action)
