Newyorkology: Everybody in the Pool!

Here's this week's Newyorkology update from Amy Langfield:

It's the season of hot and muggy weather in New York City, yet hotel pools are extremely hard to come by. For NewYorkology this week, I pulled together a list of nearly 20, but some of those are far out in the outer boroughs, and even still, most are indoors.

The Meatpacking District already has two rooftop pools - at the Gansevoort and SoHo House -- and a third one on the way at Andre Balazs' Standard New York. And while SoHo has the snob appeal of being a members-only club, (with a few hotel rooms for non-members) Gansevoort has a package deal that will get you reserved deck chairs at the pool.  Nice, huh?

But if all that's too pricey for your budget, $2 will still get you the straight out to the beach at Coney Island via subway.

Here are a few New York travel-type headlines from this week:
 
'Legally Blonde,' 'High Fidelity' set Broadway dates
Tribute Center to open week of September 5
Half-price Amtrak companion fares into September
US Helicopter hopes to serve LaGuardia by October
