Spent what turned out to be the hottest two days of the summer so far in the City – it was great! Most of the people I know who grew up in New York never did the “tourist” things – for example I’ve never been to the top of the Empire State Building. Well – I’ve decided to change that – took a Circle Line Sunset cruise around lower Manhattan one evening – a terrific way to spend time on a hot night.
Following morning I was in Central Park from 5:00 am till around 8:30. Cars aren’t allowed in the Park before 8:00am so at first it was just me and the homeless. Gradually the runners, walkers and bikers came through – it was glorious watching and hearing – there are tons of birds – gradually waking up
The animals got to cool off ….
Lots of bikes were waiting to be rented.
One of the many things I love about New York are the contrasts!
and finally the view from inside the Time Warner Center in Columbus Circle where I went to cool off.
