Before you head to The Office NYC, stop at MAD - it is a beautiful museum with ever-changing exhibitions.

Prints, artist editions and various printed ephemera to buy and to look at. A wonderful place.

This place has one of the hottest rooms I've ever been in. The combination of barely being able to breathe from the heat to immediately jumping into a freezing murky pool is addictive. There's also a great roof patio for a change of scenery. A good old school New York spot.

It's the smallest espresso bar making the best espresso drinks in Manhattan.

Where New Yorkers escape when the heat wave hits the city. Easy to access with subway and buss but less crowded than Rockaway.
