“Ohhhh we should totally do that this year!” Yes, we should. This is it—the summer I finally set out to check all those things off my Summer Bucket List that I have neglected in past years. By making this list public to you, beloved reader, I will now be held accountable for finally doing all the things I said I would over the years, and you’ll get to come along for the ride! No more excuses. Even the deadliest of hangovers and humidity will not stand in my way! Without further adieu… I present the 2010 Summer Bucket List (in no particular order of priority):
- A.C. (Atlantic City)
- Walk the Coney Island boardwalk.
- See the Botanical Gardens.
- Run in the Run Amuck Festival.
- Party with the Jersey Shore cast in Seaside Heights. GTL, baby!
- Post up at the Queens Beer Garden.
- Get out to The Hamptons/ Fire Island.
- Visit the Natural History Museum.
- Visit the Met.
- Visit the Guggenheim.
- Visit the Whitney Museum before it moves.
- Visit MoMA.
