Summer in NYC - what would you do?

[pwy95a]

Will be in NYC this July and August for an MBA-level internship (I'm 30, not 20). Would appreciate any SF-approved recommendations along several lines:

* Housing (area) - if you know of anyone who has a sublet, please holler
* Shopping
* Nightlife
* Restaurants
* Events

Many thanks.

Madison Ave and 60th Street-ish. While it'd be nice to live close, my classmates are telling me to live in the West Village.

if you can afford the west village i strongly recommend it, it's one of the most surreal places in the summer time, it's out of a movie. the only word i could use to describe it would be sleepy. it's so nice over there in the summer time too, i would suggest that. as far as shopping you're right near barneys flagship

how much do you have to spend?

Summer in NYC is a *****. Get the hell out of the city any chance you get.

all these people bitching about summer in NYC.

In south texas it's usually near 100 degrees with near 100% humidity almost all summer.

stop bitching

 

[fcuknu]

yeah but you dont walk everywhere. In new york you spend most of your time walking, subwaying (waiting for the subway too, which can be worse).

 

[Lowndes]

I would suggest the Upper West Side.

Yeah, but in Texas you live indoors. I spent six weeks in NYC last summer followed by six weeks in Houston (where I grew up). The difference is in NYC you are actually outside in the heat and in Houston you just sit in AC all day.
