New York City is a remarkable place. Recent news from the Hudson River got me thinking back to our visit there this past summer. The lights, the skyscrapers, the theatre…it’s all fantastic! One of my very favorite things to do in NYC, and in any city, is to spend an early morning or a late evening walking around, with no plans or expectations, taking in all the sights and sounds.
By far my most favorite walk in New York is the Brooklyn Bridge. This neo-gothic bridge is a work of art in itself. It has a walkway above the traffic which offers spectacular views of Manhattan’s skyline. It’s loud and it’s crowded. But if you stick to the right (cyclists on the left), and take your time to enjoy the views, it is actually quite serene.
