ABSTRACT:

After a week of horrendous heat, all you want is … water.

A bit of breeze, the open sky – the whole shebang. Well, you don’t have to go to the Hamptons or the Seaport. Every one of the city’s five boroughs has a little pocket of paradise most New Yorkers don’t know about.

Here they are.

Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, Staten Island.
