End Of Summer

Oh hello, August!

The rumors are true! Summer is seconds away from being over (tear) but have no fear, for today I’m bringing you a summer bucket list of must have moments (and instagram photos) before we say goodbye to this sunny season. Plus, I’m helping you get there quicker, safer and with ease thanks to Uber !

Wanna get away? Press play to see a few fun things you can do before summer slips through our fingers.

If you follow me on Instagram stories, you know I’m always in an Uber and I’m usually putting on lipstick. It works as my second home, vanity and color me office on the reg, but come summer it also works as my getaway car for enjoying all of my favorite summer spots safely without wandering around in the NYC heat, yuck.

Summer Hit List:

Here are some FUN things to squeeze in before the season ends (and ways to snap a cute insta pic)

Explore a New Dog Park! Got a pup? Break your routine by driving them to a new dog park and letting them play. This way they can meet new doggies & explore a new space without having to walk really far (in the heat) to do it. Waffles LOVES riding in an Uber because it’s the only time he gets to be in a car. I like to text or call my drivers ahead of time to ensure it’s okay I ride with my pup and they don’t have an allergy or a dislike for doggies, then Waffles and I show up and ride off into the sunset or the dog run.

A Farmers Market! Most places have farmers markets year around, but there’s something special about visiting one in the summer to pick up fresh flowers or fruits. Bonus points if you make a stop on your return ride to pick up a friend you take those treats on a picnic with a friend or use them to cook up dinner on your rooftop.

DIVE IN! If you haven’t popped to a pool this summer, what are you waiting for?There are a ton of cute ones around the city or you could always escape to an actual beach right outside the city. Be sure to take a cute pool float and snap a pic! I know there are SO MANY great ones out there but I still love the classic donut one, and also love showing up for an Uber ride with a giant pool float, it always makes my driver smile.

Get out of town! It’s not too late to jet set for a quick 2 day trip out of town. I always use Uber when traveling to and from the airport, and share my location via Uber’s Trusted Contacts feature with Paris or my mom so they can track my trip and have peace of mind about my location. I think Chicago would be a fun two-day trip from NYC, or Paris jetted down to Miami with his guy friends the other day and loved it.

Beat the heat! One of my favorite stores is Story in Meatpacking, they always change their shop to cool new themes and right now it’s out of office so it feels like a mini vacay – so fun and totally instagrammable! Take an Uber over there, then walk the high line, pop through the art exhibits, wander over to the whitney, stroll through Chelsea market and eat at The Garden, one of my favorite spots in that area!

Summer Street! One of the best parts about August is Summer Street!!! You might remember that infamous video of me and Paris basically dying when we decided to roller-skate down park avenue last year? If not you need to check it out. We thought we would be able to skate over the 5 avenues from our apartment but quickly decided we needed to call an Uber. And someone picked us up, skates and all!!! Uber blindly matches all ride requests with the closest available driver. So there is no discrimination based on race, gender, destination or roller skates! Which was great in our case.

South Street Seaport! Another area we’ve loved this summer has been south street seaport, we’ll take a quick Uber down there for a day of wandering, shopping, eating, seeing a movie at the epic IPIC theatre (We go almost every weekend and refuse to do another theatre) and enjoying a crazy amazing view at Pier 17!

ICE CREAM! I mean what’s summer without ice cream, whether you’re chasing down a truck or cooling off in a trendy shop there are so many fun and instagrammable ice cream moments to have before summer ends!

// @ Stuffed Ice Cream //
// @ The Pint Shop //
No matter how you spend the last few seconds of summer I know you will do so in style!!! If you’re in the city, skip the subway and use Uber to soak up every last second of this season – I promise you won’t regret it!

Thanks so much to Uber for partnering on this post and for continuing to make new safety changes and improvements! Love being able to bring you these fun posts and hopefully inspire you to enjoy the rest of your summer!
