Biking along the Hudson River, Alison and I visited a few spots downtown.
First stop, Otterness sculpture garden just west of Stuyvesant high school at Chambers Street. Second stop, Pier 25 between Harrison & North Moore Street. Pier 25 is a wonderland with grass, sand, golf, sprinklers and buckets of water that flip over cooling kids of all ages. Here are some photos from the bike ride.
August is the month when all children torture adults to get to water, and it's nice to see the city helping that effort with inventive playgrounds. With spots like Otterness garden and Pier 25's buckets of water over your head these are the good old days.
Here are Pier 25 photos I took last winter.
Next City Stories: Stoops to Nuts storytelling show @ Tuesday, August 16th @ 6pm @ Cornelia Street Cafe. We have great tellers and songsmiths, The Amygdaloids, Lindsey Gentile, Rachel Pertile Goldstein, Jed Parrish, Thomas Pryor & Andy Ross. It will change your life. I don't know how we do it, but we do. The Cafe requests $7 admission to cover their expenses then they turn around and give you a free drink, a swell deal.
