Arthur Miller, Montauk Style & the best margarita

It’s well and truly summer, and in New York, we’re experiencing quite the heatwave. This week, we’re keeping it as light, cool and refreshing as a mojito on a yacht.

Hot enough for you? This beautiful essay from The New Yorker’s archives is worth a read. Written by Arthur Miller, it’s about summer in the city before air conditioning.

Speaking of New Yorkers, have you been to Humans of New York yet? You’ll be glad you did.
