Sweaty cuddling

If you’ve yet to experience a summer in NYC, you’re more than likely not prepared for the heat and humidity that’s on its way. While temperatures tend to decrease outside the city in the evenings, Gotham holds its heat after the sun goes down and even into the overnight hours due to the vast amounts of concrete, asphalt, and street traffic. That means that keeping cool will undoubtedly be more of a challenge in New York City than it would in more rural areas.

If you are already dating someone, then get ready to enter a new phase of your relationship the first truly hot night of summer. With every inch of both your bodies covered in sweat, it’s pretty easy to reconsider whether you really want that human taking up half of your bed every night. If you’re bringing someone home for the first time, you might want to do a cool-down lap around the block first.
