There are lots of reasons to love our great city in the summer. Rooftop bars are back in full swing, the parks are pleasant, there are plenty of free things to do… But that’s hard to think about that when you’re on the subway and you don’t know if the sweat on your hand is yours or someone else’s… Even though the city is throwing a little heat our way this week, the summer is truly behind us. Here are the things we won’t miss at all:
1. The walk down into the fiery pit of hell (the subway).
2. When the hot, steamy breeze from the platform melts your soul…
3. …And you accidentally breathe it in.
5. Hell – everyone on the subway becomes the smelly guy.
6. You can’t even tell if the stench of sweat is coming from your own pits or the ones an inch from your face.
8. Because you accidentally touched it…
11. Don’t expect to get any fresh air.
12. The city stinks of hot garbage.
13. Your scorching clothes probably stink of hot garbage.
15. Until the close proximity to the sun burns your scalp.
17. Trying to find a space in Bryant Park for lunch is like trying to find an iced coffee for under $3.
18. People suddenly think it’s totally cool not to wear clothes.
19. (And you realise you’re just jealous… as you sweat in your work outfit).

21. Or it’s not working at all.
22. But the AC machine is still capable of dripping water. Right above your head.
23. You know that feeling when you peel your sticky flesh off a chair? Yeah…
25. The High Line becomes a spot for some major on-foot road rage.
27. Random summer downpours of rain ruin your trip to the park.
28. And when you finally get in, you remember that your tiny apartment has no windows…
