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 guides for the summer are THE CITY’s Haidee Chu & Katie Honan, who will share the summer tips, events, weekend beach forecasts and 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 Thursdays at 4 p.m., from the week before Memorial Day until right after Labor Day.
