Summertime in New York City is the actual living worst. It’s overheated, over-crowded, dirty, muggy, humid, and nowhere has central air. (But really though – what the hell is that about? Central air, y’all.) There’s a moment, while standing on the train platform, just PRAYING for the warm breeze when a train comes into the station just to MOVE THE AIR, when all you want in life is a cold drink.

Travel Idea! Where to Eat in Charleston, South Carolina
Living in the Upstate of South Carolina, I am on the complete opposite end of the state in relation to Charleston. But it’s just a short 4 hour drive and always well worth the visit. It has an old world charm that is infectious, and the people are among the friendliest you will ever cross paths with. Just don’t be offended when they call you “sir” or “ma’am”.
