This week's New York Magazine offers a big section titled 32 No-Sweat Strategies for enjoying Summer in New York. Some of Ask Gothamist's favorite recommendations: seeing a movie at Rooftop Films in Brooklyn, swimming in the city's best public pool at the Carmine Street Recreation Center, and the best knockoff sunglasses in the city.

Ask Gothamist has always loved summer in the city but, despite our best efforts, could not express our love for New York better than a recent post on Manhattan Transfer. (Via Sweet Blog o' Mine.)
