Is NYC worth it in a heatwave? I Our day in the City

Can you conquer New York City in just one day during a brutal summer heatwave? Join us as we test our limits on an insane bucket-list route across Manhattan! We kicked off our 24-hour New York City challenge catching the 6:00 AM LIRR train from Hampton Bays straight into Grand Central Madison to beat the midday sun. From stepping into childhood movie magic at FAO Schwarz and the iconic Plaza Hotel, to navigating the sweltering crowds of Times Square, our goal was to see how much of the Big Apple a couple can realistically squeeze into one single day when the temperatures soar past 27°C (80°F). Along the way, we cool off inside the architectural marvel of the Oculus, pay our respects at the moving 9/11 Memorial North Pool, walk through the financial canyon of Wall Street, and catch skyline views out to the Statue of Liberty from The Battery. We cap off our marathon trek in the Lower East Side to put the legendary milled-in-house slices at Scarr’s Pizza to the ultimate taste test. Did we see it all, or did the sweltering Manhattan humidity win?
