By Carly Petrone
From sipping on oversized Moscow Mules to creating your own ice cream bar, here are five ways to stay cool in NYC this summer.
10lb Moscow Mule at The Beach at Dream Downtown

New York, NY 10011

You're going to want to bring some friends with you to The Beach at Dream Downtown because you can order a 10lb Moscow Mule that's big enough to cool down the whole gang. Grab a day pass to their 4,800 square foot beach and park it at the glass bottom pool – you can always jump onto a FUNBOY luxury pool float and work on your tan in between sips. Just remember to keep hydrating throughout the day. The Beach is open Monday to Friday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and passes are available on site.

Ice Cage at Mehanata
113 Ludlow
New York, NY

If you've been dancing all night and need a place to cool off, then make your way to Mehanata on the Lower East Side. This Bulgarian bar features a downstairs Ice Cage (yes, you read that correctly) that's set to a balmy 5 degrees Fahrenheit. Step inside this frigid glass box, put on an authentic military uniform, and accept the challenge of taking up to six shots of vodka in two minutes. Did we mention that shots are taken out of a glass made of ice? Don't say we didn't warn you.
