Here we are once again at the onset of August, that tall and wild waterslide ride through the final days of summer. Breathe deep and savor it: paddle a kayak to an outdoor movie on the beach, build a sandcastle that flaunts zoning codes and then dance all night by a bonfire until the cops come on horseback to chase you into the surf. (Horses don't surf!) The city's poised to hit critical culture mass, even if the temperature's been on the cool and calm side, so here for you is our handpicked guide of the best things to do in New York City for the next month. Click through and get ready for August and everything after.
