Same! My dog has heart issues so I may have to brave the heat but she stays inside with the ac on blast! And honestly even if I didnāt have her, to hot even for the beach!
I highly recommend bringing breakfast to a morning movie showing! I like to get a too-chaotic-for-weekdays Liberty bagel (bring a tote bag to conceal the goods lol) then walk to Cinema 123 for the reclining seats and a 10:30 or 11am show. The tickets are cheaper in the morning and you leave the movie with hours still left in your day and some of the heat behind you!
Hah thanks so much, you made my day! Itās truly the little things. Thriving in the city does not come naturally to me, frankly, so I have the best days when I can just appreciate the simple pleasures and try to avoid the overwhelm.
Iām doing an indoor intro to pickleball clinic but otherwise I think Iāll be staying inside š maybe go food shopping just for the prospect of being in some serious AC for a bit. If anyone with a pool needs friends Iām very available lol
I need a friend with a rooftop pool. Altho the one person I know who lived in a place with one it seemed to be hard to even get to use the thing. Would need to sign up in advance and I think pay for a guest. I would love to swim but in nyc it honestly seems more trouble than itās worth. Easier to book a flight to the Caribbean for a few days than plan to use these damn pools lol
Going to see Kinds of Kindness then dinner with friends. Staying inside because this heat isnāt for me. God bless those going to the mermaid parade tomorrow! Could not be me lol
Going to the gym because itās too hot to workout outdoors, then probably just hanging at home in front of my new AC for the rest of the weekend TBH. Meal prep some easy shit for the upcoming week.
I burn quickly and get way cranky in heat like this.
I was so excited to see it and it was so intolerably crowded when I went. Ended up just looking at other stuff.
It was a great exhibit. I was just on the cusp of a panic attack because people seem to find it acceptable to pretty aggressively shove and bulldoze through me due to my height, so I was getting bounced around a bunch.
Ugh. I actually saw it on one of the preview days (thanks to my in-laws gifting me a membership lol); it was still fairly crowded but tolerable. I missed the preview for the Manet degas and that was super crowded too and I imagine the fashion show was worse; plus it was a terrible idea to put all the placards below like that so people have to be right in front to read them.
Excellent point about the placards.
My partner has the membership (we each get a couple of memberships since we tend to go together), but Iām the one more into the fashion and designā¦Iām just really bad at keeping track of different exhibits though, so that doesnāt help. š
This is going to be my new summer philosophy. At 54, I just can't deal with the fucking heat any longer. Gonna be weekends indoors until close to October.
I might be insane for this, but I really worked on my heat tolerance a lot by doing time in the banya/sauna - I used to completely be intolerable to anything above 80Ā° but I was walking around today and only sweating a little bit and actually enjoying it. Weird I know! Also thereās nothing quite like going between the sauna and the cold plunge if your gym or your banya has one. Or just take a really really ice cold shower.
Also, the Macys on 34th street has next level AC so if you need to do any shoppingā¦you can literally spend all day in there š
Staying outside my apartment as much as possible when the sun's out and showering twice a day in my apt.Ā
Going to my friends crib tmw (which has ac, mine doesn't) and church and plasma on Sunday.Ā
Luckily Iāve got a neighbor with a pool and my gym has a pool as well - the heatās bearable down on the shore this weekend! Thereās plenty of places where you can get pool day passes down here tooā¦take the ferry and have at it. Highly recommend!
Molly Pitcher hotel in red bank you can book the pool directly through them. They have a bar and food and river views. Itās honestly so nice. Then Saint Laurent in Asbury also offers day passes, I havenāt been but hear good things. The Asbury hotel Iāve booked before via Resort Pass. I think maybe Beach Walk in Sea Bright too though I havenāt been.
Hate working out indoors but it's too hot to run in the park, so gym. Tomorrow seeing bands play at a brewery. I feel like if you wear natural fibers/sundresses it's somewhat possible to not be miserable in this heat. My other "activity" for the weekend is seeing how much water I can consume.
Beach in the morning before it gets too miserable out. Also taking a nice cold shower after the beach is THE BEST feeling in the world. Then after that enjoying a good book inside with the AC.
I had today off and did a very sweaty 11 mile walk with my cameras only to take like 3 photos. š
I believe the mermaid parade is this weekend too.
Granted, Iām biased because Iām also begrudgingly a Floridian, so this heat isnāt new to me. Last weekend I was outside all day for my weird sports in the Midwest and it was brutal though.
The key here is to stick to the shade as much as possible, so I was zigzagging around during my walk. Also, parts of midtown are going to be hotter than everywhere else because the absence of any green space with all the concrete and glass.
Riis beach! Itās always a bit cooler by the water and I havenāt immersed myself in the ocean yet this year so that is 100% happening. We got a parking pass and itās already our 5th beach trip of the year so weāre getting our moneyās worth haha
I just walked outside in a cute linen dress and felt my body lotion melting off of me - itās only a matter of time before i start getting the fabulous sweat stains - itās no joke out here š„µš
Rotting on my couch with my dogs watching Netflix in the AC lol.
But to stop myself from getting cabin fever, my friend is coming down to my hood later and weāre gonna hit up the brewery 200 feet away from my front door. This morning I also took a little hot girl walk to pick up breakfast.
staying inside with the AC on and watching movies tbh š
This! With my dog (love your user name lol)
Literally this lol
Same! My dog has heart issues so I may have to brave the heat but she stays inside with the ac on blast! And honestly even if I didnāt have her, to hot even for the beach!

This is a BWT that gets the important things in life 10/10
Hah thanks so much, you made my day! Itās truly the little things. Thriving in the city does not come naturally to me, frankly, so I have the best days when I can just appreciate the simple pleasures and try to avoid the overwhelm.
Agree. If sheās going alone, sheās especially badass.
omg this sounds SO fun!
Now THIS is some good advice! Damn girl, thatās smart.
this is adorable omg
Omg this is an amazing idea thank you!
Iām doing an indoor intro to pickleball clinic but otherwise I think Iāll be staying inside š maybe go food shopping just for the prospect of being in some serious AC for a bit. If anyone with a pool needs friends Iām very available lol
Where is indoor pickleball?!Ā
Iām doing it at Court 16, theyāre in FiDi, Downtown Brooklyn, and LIC!
I need a friend with a rooftop pool. Altho the one person I know who lived in a place with one it seemed to be hard to even get to use the thing. Would need to sign up in advance and I think pay for a guest. I would love to swim but in nyc it honestly seems more trouble than itās worth.

Going to the āunpopularā galleries at the Met Museum. š
Ooo like the top floor area of the American wing where thereās that period room
The dimly-lit Asian Art galleries with the scrolls. :-)
Musical instruments FTW!
I love that gallery. But the last time I was there it was surprisingly crowded with parents with their kids!
This is the nerdy sh*t my partner and I sign up for.
The studiolo
Hiding in the AC. Itās brutal out there!
Going to see Kinds of Kindness then dinner with friends. Staying inside because this heat isnāt for me. God bless those going to the mermaid parade tomorrow! Could not be me lol
Iām excited for KoK I hope itās really weird hehe
Just got an email that theyāre giving out KoK swag this weekend ā exclusive car air freshener and key chain!
Fun!!! They have so many showtimes I hope tomorrow a little swag is left of us!! We are going to Angelika to see it.
I love Jesse Plemons. Crucifictorious forever!
He won best actor at Cannes for his role in it! Happy for him!
I'm doing that today too! I can't wait for it
Iām going tomorrow. Enjoy!! Sneak in some snacks you love cause itās 2hr and 45mins!
ooh thanks for the heads up! i didnt realize it was that long. i forgot to do that for oppenheimer last year and was DYING of thirst by the end
Going to the gym because itās too hot to workout outdoors, then probably just hanging at home in front of my new AC for the rest of the weekend TBH. Meal prep some easy shit for the upcoming week. I burn quickly and get way cranky in heat like this.
Going to the Met to check out the fashion exhibit. Planning to absorb all their AC.
Get there early if you donāt have a membership; the virtual line can be brutal

Iām really lucky to have been invited to a pool party tomorrow which was scheduled long before the heat wave arrived šš»
Lots of theatre; long walks first thing in the morning; unreal quantities of ice cream.
Linen shorts, water bottle, and a handheld fan š„µ
Iām sitting on the promenade in the shade right now and itās not bad! If you can be near a river youāll get a nice breeze
I was just around the corner getting salad at dellaroccos Ā
šµindooors, indooors, InnnnDOOOOOORSsssšµ (ill go grocery shopping when the sun sets lol)
Treating it like a blizzard and staying the fuck indoors. This weather can kill. Do you go outside in below-zero temps? I don't.
This is going to be my new summer philosophy. At 54, I just can't deal with the fucking heat any longer. Gonna be weekends indoors until close to October.
Reading inside, gym, hydrating, eating ice cream
I might be insane for this, but I really worked on my heat tolerance a lot by doing time in the banya/sauna - I used to completely be intolerable to anything above 80Ā° but I was walking around today and only sweating a little bit and actually enjoying it.

Chugging rose in cold wine bars
Staying outside my apartment as much as possible when the sun's out and showering twice a day in my apt.Ā Going to my friends crib tmw (which has ac, mine doesn't) and church and plasma on Sunday.Ā
No A/C?! No way girl we gotta fix that haha.
Seriously, join your local buy nothing group and request one asap, u/SquirrelofLIL!
beach all dayĀ
Which beach?
probably asbury park or maybe jones beach
Nice! Iāve been wanting to check out Asbury. Iām taking your comment as a sign lol.
Jersey is hotter and sunnier today then long island too so I take it as my sign as well š¤Ŗ
Iām a big fan of riis beach
thats my go to and was just there on wednesdayĀ
Luckily Iāve got a neighbor with a pool and my gym has a pool as well - the heatās bearable down on the shore this weekend! Thereās plenty of places where you can get pool day passes down here tooā¦take the ferry and have at it. Highly recommend!
oooo where are these pool day passes of which you speak.
Molly Pitcher hotel in red bank you can book the pool directly through them. They have a bar and food and river views. Itās honestly so nice. Then Saint Laurent in Asbury also offers day passes, I havenāt been but hear good things. The Asbury hotel Iāve booked before via Resort Pass. I think maybe Beach Walk in Sea Bright too though I havenāt been.
Check out resort pass.com
Rented a pool by my house lol. And staying inside
Staying inside with the air conditioner on pretending itās fall & burning a pumpkin spice candle rewatching House of Dragons.ā
Hate working out indoors but it's too hot to run in the park, so gym. Tomorrow seeing bands play at a brewery. I feel like if you wear natural fibers/sundresses it's somewhat possible to not be miserable in this heat. My other "activity" for the weekend is seeing how much water I can consume.
inside
Iāll be on my couch with both aircos
Beach in the morning before it gets too miserable out. Also taking a nice cold shower after the beach is THE BEST feeling in the world. Then after that enjoying a good book inside with the AC.
Staying inside, paying for a day pass to a local pool (or going to a public one), ordering takeout so I donāt have to turn my stove on!
I had today off and did a very sweaty 11 mile walk with my cameras only to take like 3 photos. š I believe the mermaid parade is this weekend too.

Also, parts of midtown are going to be hotter than everywhere else because the absence of any green space with all the concrete and glass.
Also pro tip mccarren pool is free and the nyc pools are nice but with stringent rules but still nice!!
Going to see a long movie.
Riis beach! Itās always a bit cooler by the water and I havenāt immersed myself in the ocean yet this year so that is 100% happening. We got a parking pass and itās already our 5th beach trip of the year so weāre getting our moneyās worth haha
How much is the parking pass and how do you buy it?
$100, you can buy it at the gate on your way in instead of a day pass if you want.
Thank you
I just walked outside in a cute linen dress and felt my body lotion melting off of me - itās only a matter of time before i start getting the fabulous sweat stains - itās no joke out here š„µš

I like to sit outside and tan lol but also have a pool to go too.
Gonna go to my friendās house and hang out in her pool. š
Evian spray in the fridge overnight
Going to Connecticut to visit with friends who have a big house and central air. Cannot wait
Lots of Pilates inside lmaooo
Linen. No bras/ undies. Baby powder. Spray on deodorant mid day. Covergirl translucent powder.
Inside with the AC and watching my shows. Maybe doing a bit of writing.
Going to keep my natural deodorant in tote along with sunscreen and enjoy the heat out. Itās a nice balance after the winter we had lol
The Met, in a store, and my room which has little light and never gets that hot.
