It was summer in New York — a very hot, clear and warm summer! My friends and I were studying at NYU, I was finishing up my history major. Right after our classes, we would rush for some authentic New York hot dogs and pizza with cold drinks. Relaxing in those street side cafes or just sitting on those benches in the park enjoying the snacks with some hot gossip was so much fun. During those warm (okay hot) months, my favorite thing to do was go window shopping. My friends and I used to go crazy, but we also used it to pass the time. Of course, we also enjoyed the fairs that would resemble a mini-carnival. How much fun the streets in New York have within them! The best part, when everyone was around, would be going to a horror movie, preferably in an air-conditioned theatre with some chips and coke. Screaming loudly and scaring others was always so much fun. We’d usually spend our nights drinking some lovely mock tails (we weren’t 21 at the time) and going around with friends to a disco or a bar with a few friends to just hang out. Apart from all these activities, occasional sightseeing would always be a refreshing option, whenever some relative or friend was visiting. Overall those warm, hot days never felt really harsh as there are many options to live with, once you are in New York.
