Too Hot In The City? Just Jump In Your Pool

There are plenty of outdoor pools here in the city that are open to the public. Many parks have sprinklers set up with children of all ages running through the water. Of course, you can still find an open fire hydrant of two as you travel around the city.

Some people are a bit more fortunate, some buildings have pools for the residents. The Upper East Side has several condo buildings such as The Channel Club on East 86th, Evans Tower on East 84th and The Hampton House on East 79th that have roof top pools that are glass enclosed and open 12 months a year. Downtown, 300 Mercer has a beautiful outdoor roof top pool 40 stories high with spectacular views, lounge chairs and a list of restaurants that deliver to the roof...its really cool.

But, if you dont like to share and you happen to be in that very elite class of the super wealthy you can own your own private pool in your own private apartment. New York Magazine just did a spread about ten apartments with their own pools. Click on this link and dream about living in this manner...not too shabby. http://nymag.com/realestate/features/67104/
