> but August in Manhattan can get pretty unpleasant

For me it's not even the heat that's the problem, it's the goddamn smell of hot garbage. At least the outer boroughs are better in that regard to Manhattan.

Yeah it's not just the temperature per se which wouldn't be so bad if you were out in a forest someplace. But the garbage, all the people, etc. that make a dense city pretty unpleasant when the mercury creeps up.
