Last night I was walking home (yes, trying to get some exercise) from my part-time job, and I noticed that a couple of bars (of the straight variety) were PACKED. I started to wonder if today was a holiday and maybe people didn’t have to work. But then I remembered “Summer Fridays” – a phenomenon we have here in New York City. In many companies, people are off (or only work a half-day) on Fridays between Memorial Day and Labor Day. It allows people to start their weekend early, and anyone going to the Hamptons (or Fire Island) can get a head start and avoid the traffic. For those not leaving the city, many go out on Thursday since they don’t have to worry about being hung over at work the next morning.
Does this happen in other cities, or is this a strictly NYC thinng?
