Movie night at Bryant Park

42nd Street @ 6th Avenue

 

Movie night in Bryant Park.  Come enjoy this jewel of a park with Humphrey Bogart.  It's quite a magical scene, thousands of Manhattanites sitting in a wash of cool light, surrounded by the warm glow of the New York Public Library and grandeur of midtown.  Bring your cameras for some wonderful night photography.

 

I'll be reserving a spot on the lawn about 6:00 p.m.  Feel free to call me to find our blanket,  202-669-9511.

"Borrowed View"

Waterfront of Hoboken, NJ 

I recently went for a wonderful bike ride from the GW Bridge down to Jersey City and discovered a snaking waterfront promenade that intends to run continuously down the riverside.  There are some breaks in the path but it appears that eventually the path will connect in all missing parts. 

There are varied lighting solutions along the approx 10-mile promenade and Friday we shall take a look at a few of them, find what works well and what doesn't. 

Don't worry, I'm not asking you to walk the whole thing!  We will look at 3 or 4 sections of the promenade.  The meeting point will be in Hoboken, NJ at the Hoboken Path Station.  You can also get to Hoboken via ferry!   Lets meet up at 8 p.m.  We will have some time before sunset to enjoy the wonderful Hoboken waterfront.  We'll visit 3 or 4 sites, then return to Hoboken for a cocktail.
