Summer New York

The best season in New York is the summer. The heat and humidity build to 'Californian Unbearable' levels, but it makes people charmingly goofy and spontaneous. When you can't sit still, it makes more sense to stomp around a bit more and get rid of all the sweat. 

I choose summer to do all my outdoor activities, mostly because it just feels like I don't want to miss a bloody thing. I anticipate the 90-degree temps like Christmas, and feel lethargic when it is 72 or 60. Plus the city clears a bit in July and August so there is more room to swing your arms around. 

Don't get me wrong, though, air conditioning is miraculous. The one time I don't want to be restless is at night after lying down. A nice, rational 78-degree room is great to keep me sleeping. Any cooler and the carbon (and money) flying into the air would throw me into obsession. Any warmer and I'd go over my to-do list all night.
