When Gregory Sarafan, a 33-year-old litigator, started commuting from Jersey City, N.J., to his job in Manhattan’s Tribeca neighborhood in May, he wore a suit and tie. He would also leave 30 minutes earlier than necessary so he would have time to cool off in his private office before heading to court one block away.
“I sat under the vents in my office and would wipe sweat off my face with some paper towels,” he says. “There’s really not much more that you can do besides take your jacket and tie off and just sit there and let your body cool.”
