trapped in the city forsummer school。 Who knew they were really so serious aboutthat whole
attendance policy thing？ Anyway； I？m freaking dyingover here； it？s so hot。 Help！

Dear SITC；

Poor thing。 Sounds like you could use your own doppelganger right now！ But if that？s not an
option； here are some quick fixes to stay cool in the city：
？
1） Find your nearest rooftop pool。 If you don？t have a friend withher own （or if she？s out of town
too）； try Soho House or theHotel Gansevoort。 If you？re really desperate； buy yourself a kiddie
pool； bring it up to your roof； and don？t forget the hundredbottles of Evian。 Now that？s what I call
a private party。
？
2） The A/C at Barneys is to die for。 I suppose it isn？t terriblysunny； but if you？re trying on bikinis；
it？s almost like being at thebeach。
？
3） Three words： Tasti D…Lite。 （Or is that a two…word hyphenate？）Okay； so Tasti D is totally five
years ago； but you know you wantsomething cool and sweet。 And if you？re really not going
tomake it to the beach this summer； do me the favor of forgettingabout the calories and slurping up
some hazelnut gelato fromCones。 Yum。
？
4） You did say you were in summer school； right？ Um； hello；isn？t it airconditioned？ If you don？t
know the answer； you bettercheck the attendance policy again！

For you lucky ones staying cool at the beach； don？t worry； I haven？t for…gotten about you either。
