The Week in Review: Endless Summer

Summer unofficially kicked off last Monday (at least here in the U.S.) and with it came a surf-sized wave of articles about things to read, eat, drink and listen to, as well as places to go, and what to wear.

In other words, summer swims with potential. F. Scott Fitzgerald once wrote: “I had that familiar conviction that life was beginning over again with summer.” The warm weather brings plenty of less existential choices for both indoor and outdoor types: jam-packed music festivals, big-budget blockbusters, and the sweet, sunkissed aroma of grilled meat and ripe fruit.

To get a taste of what the season has to offer, check out these magazines offering some clever suggestions for how to spend your summer:
