What August feels like
Half of New York is somewhere else, which makes August the easiest month to get a restaurant table and the hardest to get a haircut. The air sits heavy and still between the buildings; the US Open starts in the last week and the 7 train to Flushing turns into a party.
Expect about 7 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around.
