Get ready for Escape from New York week on BrickUnderground

Judging from the sweltering temps and humidity-soaked air, we're officially right in the heat of summer. Even if you're not quite ready to pack your bags and write your own "Goodbye to All That" essay about leaving the city, for must of us, the instinct to flee is at its strongest right about now. Next week, we'll be helping you escape, so to speak, with articles covering the world of short-term rentals beyond Airbnb, get-to-know guides for the Rockaways to the Jersey Shore to the Catskills, tips on maintaining a vacation home (or just making sure the one  you're renting out isn't sketch), and more. Check back here Monday to start plotting your next getaway.
