79th Street Boat Basin - Summer's not gone, its just hiding.

Ladies and Gentlemen, take a breath. Summer’s over. Exhale. Say bye-bye summer. Clutch your chest and expectorate all the gooey margarita phlegm that came with the season. Doesn’t that feel ever-so-slightly better? Onward to autumn we say! Do wipe that blood off your lip, you sun-obsessed cad.

Gentle reader, we’ve reached the most dour of all the seasons, and yet you still frown! Don’t contemplate suicide because of seasonal affective disorder. Your untimely demise can be put off for at least another few weeks. Barfly’s gamely found at least two places in the city where summer lives on, especially if you need it to live on yourselves. The first: Riverside Park Boat Basin. The second: the special cruise to cuckoo town (a.k.a. the subway to your psychiatrist’s office).

Located within Riverside Park, revelers can cling to the last drops of the mood enhancing sun as they drink it up and enjoy the smell of neighborhood dog. On a recent visit, Barfly expected to find cuddling couples drinking hot toddies and ogling some foliage. Not only were there still shorts-clad corona drinkers, there was nary a browned leaf to be found (the latter was truly disappointing to us as, canvas and oils in hand, we had planned to get plastered Hudson River School style).

Barfly decided to kick back. We could not feel encroachment of the weather change. The sun still hit your face. The air still smelled of charcoal. We noticed that the closer the patrons edged their plastic chairs to the river, the closer summer seemed to be in their hearts. We imagine that when the leaves truly start to fall and many bar goers decide to stay in and cuddle with a Netflix, there will still be a contingent here, keeping summer alive.

So readers, whenever you start to get a case of the droopys, don’t fret. Picture the Basin and know that there are still a happy few fighting in that last bastion against the fall. Just imagine them, pints in hand, staring into the water, rolling with laughter, warming us all.

If that doesn’t help, we hear that snorting a Prozac works wonders!

79th Street Boat Basin – Riverside Park

Folks driving up from their boats for a cocktail – 5 Olives – Isn’t it nice how they share with the ducks on their way back!

Other ways of dealing with your seasonal disorder (you know, instead of the old knifey-knife) – 4 olives – There are plenty of things in this glorious city that make it seem worth living. The sun. The bars. This thing. We’ve become so inspired that we even made up a new drink for our readers. It’s called Alcohol, but for the placebo effect it will be called “Happy Juice” during October – Feb.

Shivers as you order another drink after sunset, refusing to let the summer go – 2 olives – If you keep chanting “summer no bye-bye”, you’ll be able to stay warmer. A gentle rocking motion extends the summer for at least another 12-14 minutes.
