Wow, I cannot believe that it is almost summer again. What happened to winter, I miss the snow. The winter wasn’t bad at all, I actually enjoyed it. Being a Southern California girl my whole life, I have to say I can do this East Coast thing, the only thing I do not like is the humidity in the summer.
When we first got here last summer, Sergey and I felt really miserable, but this summer I am hoping things will be different. One, we might be out of town most of the time! Two, we will try to get away and do something fun on the weekends, just like true New Yorkers. And three, find adventures right here in the city.
Apparently, Long Island is the place to be in the summers. Well the Hamptons are on Long Island, so I’m sure its pretty nice. Maybe I can find Ina Garten’s home and get invited to dinner. Wouldn’t that be a dream come true? That will most likely not happen, but a girl can dream.
Another thing to do in the city is watch movies in parks and I think they do a little production of plays by some English playwright in Central Park. Oh yeah, I think his name is Shakespeare. 
So I think I will try and catch one or some of those events.
Another thing to do in a park is eat at Shake Shack. On nice days in the summer, lines can be up to 2 hours for burgers at the Shack in Madison Square Park. I think that is a long time to wait for a burger, but once you eat this burger you will understand. Its worth it. Although Sergey still thinks In-N-Out on the West Coast is better, but we both agree that this Shake Shack burger comes in at a pretty close second. So next time you’re here, try it out. But you might want to eat before you go so you won’t pass out while in line. Oh and don’t forget to try their shakes and custards….so good!
