Well for the most part my draft was totally off base. But one thing I did, that might make some sense to incorporate, is mentioning some of the sights and sounds of NY in the summer. e.g. - "Home of the Mets and Yankees baseball teams, Broadway Theater, baseball, Skyscrapers, Fashion, Finance, and the heartbeat of the US" (Please don't use that literally, it's jsut there to give you an idea.) > Also, do you want to join the press team? :) Sure!
