Things You Can Do This Holiday Weekend
Given the great weather forecast for this long weekend, here’s a list of things you can do to celebrate the last unofficial weekend of summer:
Paddle your kayak down the scenic West Side… as in, the flooded West Side Highway.
Play “Whose Sneakers Are More Absorbent?” You and a friend weigh your dry sneakers on a scale, then run outside into the flooded street for a few minutes. Whoever gains more weight in their sneakers wins!
Go to Central Park and attempt to read an entire book from beginning to end… before the ink runs.
Bring some friends and play Marco Polo at the underpasses on the FDR.
Put several buckets on the fire escape for a few hours, then pour them into an inflatable pool and BAM! Instant indoor pool party!
Play chicken with the giant puddles on street corners. Try to get as close to a car’s splash zone without getting wet.
Drown yourself… in alcohol.
Enjoy the long weekend!

says:It is going to suck being trapped in the cityt his weekend with all of the tourists in my neighborhood. So to keep things interesting, I think I am going to just run into restaurants and shops and steal all of the umbrellas I can find and watch people run for cover.
Maybe I’ll even offer to sell them their umbrella back.
