Weekend Review: Summer Send Off

"I love New York on summer afternoons when everyone's away. There's something very sensuous about it - overripe, as if all sorts of funny fruits were going to fall into your hands."
- The Great Gatsby

And so we tried to enjoy the last days of summer hanging around the city (the first weekend we've spent together in the city in what seems like ages) - enjoying the peace & quiet of the last hot days of the year. We hit up our favorite local haunts, spent a day at the beach, and spent time working on cm (it wouldn't be Labor Day without the labor...).

With Labor Day weekend behind us, summer has undoubtedly come to a finish in NYC. Summer shares in the Hamptons have ended, there's a hint of crispness in the air, signaling that fall is just around the corner, and the frenzy of fashion week is just days away. That's it kids, summer is officially over.

3 out of 5 apples on the big apple weekend review radar (minus points for working on the holiday weekend specifically created to give workers a break).
