I could tell it was hot before we even got out, so I was dragging my feet a bit. We started with a stop at a local deli so that we could get some sandwiches and drinks, then went down into the sauna, also known as the New York Subway. To be fair, only the platforms are hot - it feels they are around 10-15F warmer than the outdoor temperature, which was 89F today.
Inside the cars, it is a beautiful cool oasis of liquid loveliness flowing over your face and shoulders and almost feeling like your legs will stick to the seats like your tongue to a pole in the winter. We took the subway uptown to the 106th Avenue stop and got out a few blocks into Harlem. That felt a little unsafe and I think we were walking in the wrong direction, so we hailed a Yellow Cab, but instead a black Olds pulled up. Claire was right that we probably shouldn't have taken it, but it all turned out okay and he took us right to the park entrance near the Flower Conservatory.
We ate on some benches under a huge wisteria that unfortunately was not in bloom. Down past the benches is a fountain and a big lawn, where a couple were having their wedding photos taken.
Here are some flowers from the park:
