i was in New York in the summer of 2000 vs i was in New York in for the summer of 2000

The correct phrase is 'I was in New York in the summer of 2000.' The preposition 'in' is used to indicate a specific time period, such as a season or a year. The second phrase 'I was in New York in for the summer of 2000' is incorrect as it includes an unnecessary 'for' before 'the summer of 2000.'
