Summer in the city sucks — the sweat, the strollers, the smells. But the worst part? The annual influx of summer interns.
No shade to the interns themselves — we were you: NYU dorms, daddy’s credit card, Drunk Elephant-obsessed. We see you, we salute you.
But in your mid-twenties, the last thing you want is to flirt with a guy at a bar only to learn he’s 19, calls his mom “Mommy," and is studying abroad in Florence next semester.
Martinis should come with olives, not a side of “what’s dirty mean again?” or a horrible fake ID from Connecticut — and if you’re asking who Hendrick is, you’re too young for me, bro.
So, here’s a roundup of the best places to go out in NYC this summer... for when you still feel as lost as an intern, but with significantly better taste in cocktails.
