I've been out East a couple of times in the last month and I feel your pain back there. It's been the hottest summer in twenty years throughout the East and the Midwest. And it could be that the crowded concrete jungle of New York City is the steam bath of all American cities come high summer. Everyone's looking to get out of town, and everyone who can't holes up at the movies. Our contributor Wendy Paris couldn't join the Hampton's crowd, but she did save up enough mad money for one night of cool luxury...and it's a trip she recommends.
