HAPPY SUMMER & PIER 62

Hudson River Park's Chelsea Cove at Pier 62, just north of Chelsea Piers, is��now open and it's AWESOME (and I'm not just sayin' that cause it's in my 'hood)!

There's a ton of open, grassy areas for city kids to get used to the surface...

A carousel! Not just your run of the mill merry-go-round with horsies but a solar panelled roof carousel with a variety of native New York animals including: a sea horse, a black bear, a wild turkey, a mallard duck, a green turtle, a sea otter, and more...

A 15,000 square foot skate park! Big Bub was particularly interested in this installation. Maybe I have a little sk8er boi on my hands?

And of course, the glistening waterfront, with yachts, cruise ships, and schooners drifting by...

Happy Summer! Hope it's hot, in all the right ways.
