Thanks for your post, Carol. We are familiar with hot and humid summers but I'm sure it has a special "oomph" in New York. Plus, when it's hot and humid at home (which is all summer plus some), we're not out walking everywhere and taking the subway - we're driving in our air-conditioned cars from one air-conditioned venue to another. So I can see how it would be much different.

I remember that you grew up in Queens since my mother went to Queens College (she grew up in Brooklyn). She must have also gone, at some point, to whatever NYU was called then b/c she was remembering how she used to eat lunch and study in Washington Square. When we were there recently, there was a guy standing next to a beautiful grand piano that he had just brought to the park on that cold December day. If you're going to bring your piano to the park to play and earn money, you'd better be pretty good. He was. (An example of something you don't see just anywhere!)

I am working for the next few days so DH is loose in the city. I can't wait to hear what he discovers.
