Принято считать, что август последний месяц лета и от этой мысли становится немного грустно – заканчиваются каникулы, отпускной период хоть и в разгаре, но его быстротечность становится очевидной, в магазинах появляются осенние коллекции одежды и жара начинает больше утомляет чем радовать. Но не будем торопить время, в Америке лето официально заканчивается аж 21 сентября. Да и погода, как правило подтверждает, что сентябрь — это полноценный летний месяц. А посему не стоит сожалеть раньше времени об утраченных летних возможностях, – продолжим ловить каждый солнечный день запасаясь энергией на последующий, менее богатый ультрафиолетом сезон. Так что в августовской Афише, кроме традиционной информации о культурных и развлекательных событиях Нью-Йорка уделим особое внимание пляжам и загородным прогулка. Август самое время посмотреть, что же творится за городской чертой. Счастливых и удачных Вам поездок, отдыха и удовольствий.
