Welcome, dear readers, to the best days of summer: July. July is the Bill Murray of months: irreverent of all that's passed, unfazed by what's to come, and perfectly content to revel in its own unique pleasures. July has it all! Patriotic explosions, star-lit live music, and zany ballpark antics are only some of the seasonably sublime events taking place in the next few weeks. Run around, scrape your knees, get dirty! Climb trees, hop fences, get into trouble for crying out loud! Here's your handy guide to what's happening in New York City this month. — (jamie nyc/Flickr)
