While summer officially starts on June 21, warm, muggy weather has already descended upon the Tri-State. Neighborhood creamy whips have opened their windows to little leaguers and other soft-serve fiends, most pools kicked-off open swim during Memorial Day weekend and music fest season is here in all its fringey crop-topped, fanny-packed glory. So, yes, while summer won’t technically start for another two weeks or so, if it looks like summer and feels like summer… You know the rest.
In our younger days, summer meant three blissful months of time to waste between school years. Now, unless you’re a super lucky grown-up, summer means fitting in some nostalgic and heat-friendly fun when you can find a place to slip it into your daily grind. To help maximize that mission, the Summer Guide has suggestions for things to eat, drink, see and discover all season long, plus something to do every single day from now until Labor Day. Time to break out the SPF.
