There are several indications summer in the city has made her grand entrance. Sundresses and sandals parade down sidewalks covered with tables, crowded with chairs, filled by New Yorkers hoisting fruity cocktails that flow like water, oh yeah, and the subway has begun to heat up like a sticky sauna.
