Summer & THE CITY brings you the best of summer, by and for New Yorkers, right to your inbox. It’s a free, weekly guide to help you enjoy — and survive — the hottest months in the five boroughs.

Your guide for the summer is THE CITY’s Katie Honan, a senior reporter who usually covers government and politics — but also grew up on the beach, in Rockaway Park, and is our newsroom’s mayor of having the best summer ever. 

Summer & THE CITY includes exclusive tips from Katie and THE CITY’s team, interviews with the New Yorkers that make summer happen — from the carnival inspectors keeping rides safe to the workers making sure you don’t get splinters on the boardwalk — plus features on the coolest happenings in the city, like the horseshoe crab count in Jamaica Bay.

The newsletter will arrive in your inbox Wednesdays at 1 p.m., from the week before Memorial Day until right after Labor Day.

(We’ll make sure to send you the latest version of the newsletter when you sign up!)
