Happy 400 years to NYC

Here's to Henry Hudson for finding us - his mistake and our gain. Imagine the mutiny after years and years of exploration and never finding the elusive North-West passage, but to only discover Mannahatta. If you click on the title it takes you to this absolutely fantastic project - The Manhattan Project where you can see NYC communities in 1609 - 400 years ago via computer translations. This is a project of The Wildlife Conservation Society.

With the 400 year celebration - Macy's moved the fireworks to the Hudson and I hear they were spectacular. We could still see the "rockets red glare" from our side of the east river without the crowds.

Check out all the history and activities and celebrate the city on this historical anniversary!

Three things to be grateful for

1) Central Park

2) Prospect Park

3) Any green-way in NYC

We really have the best of so much in this very lovely city.
