Can you believe it’s already August? Summer always seems to fly by, but there’s still plenty of time to soak it up. Whether you're catching some patio sunshine, sneaking away for a weekend escape, or just enjoying a slower pace, August is all about taking a breath and enjoying the little things.
In this issue, you’ll find a few ways to make the most of what’s left of summer - from spots where you can escape the city buzz to where to find the best Italian food in town.
