It’s starting to get fucking hot out there on the streets of NYC! Here’s six sexy places to cool off your hot self:
— The swank Thompson LES Hotel‘s newly-opened third floor rooftop pool bar is only open to hotel guests — AND also is open to diners at the hotel restaurant Shang. Dine and dive!
— The Holiday Inn Midtown sure ain’t the hippest joint in town, but with day passes to the outdoor pool for $35 who the fuck cares?
— The rooftop pool with a retractable glass dome at the Manhattan Plaza Health Club on 43rd offers 1-day passes for $25.
— Yeah, the 50-foot pool at the Sheraton Manhattan at Times Square is technically indoors, but with a little moxie it’s an easy one to sneak in to.
— The “45-foot heated outdoor, glass-surrounded featuring underwater music and colored lighting” on the top of the posh Hotel Gansevoort is open to guests only — and rooms start at around $500 a night.
— If you feel like slumming it with the common people, the NYC Parks Dept. has 54 outdoor pools — from the mini at Tompkins Square Park to the ocean-sized being refurbished at Williamsburg’s McCarren Park Pool. They all reopen for the season on June 27.
