Tourists in New York in August

Why, tourists WHY?

I just do not understand tourists who come to New York City in August. People who live in NYC just want to go somewhere else in August, and do, when they can afford it. I especially don't understand Europeans - cities in Europe (and Canada for that matter) are a good ten degrees cooler on average than New York, where temperatures are usually in the mid-80s at least during the day. It's horrible and I hate it.

If I do move to Canada one thing I will really like is the cooler summers. Oh but the winters are colder? That's FINE.

Meanwhile the NYTimes identifies where people in the US go in the summer.
