Summer in the City
When the sun reigns supreme
In the city of king beings
The streets come alive
With workers out by five
Outdoor dining and drinking
Whether on rooftops or streets, as if time is a fleeting
It’s rosé all day
From Saturday to Sunday, that’s all you may say
From the seaport to the park
Summer in the city means it will never go dark
The city thrives during the summer time
Weekend mornings without commuters are completely sublime
Locals disperse, tourists converge
The lucky few with pools are quick to submerge
The humidity can be dense
Traveling by subway gets even more tense
And occasionally hold your breath along some streets
Roasting garbage bags greet all those they meet
Yet no matter the smells
New York in the summer does so much so well
Glamping is a thing
Sheep’s Meadow and the Frying Pan will impress all those you bring
And dare not forget the arts
With concerts and movies, and even Shakespeare in the park
Old reliables of course are Loeb Boathouse and Boat Basin
Both fine ideas for any occasion
Ride a bike up the westside or stroll through the villages’ tree-dotted streets
Maybe walk to Ferrara’s for a late night treat
And while you may not forget islands or beaches
You will never forget what the city teaches
The summer energy is contagious here
Making summer in the city a must every year.
