I live in a town with a lot of humidity in summer. I perspire a lot, but restaurants around here have misters outdoors to “cool things down”. How does that work? How can adding more humidity make the heat more tolerable?

Water evaporates and takes heat with it.
If it is too humid, water can’t evaporate to take heat with it.
If it’s not too humid, spraying people puts water on them… Which evaporates taking heat with it.
People feel cooler if heat is being effectively removed.
