The Hudson Promenade





Dinner Friday night was wine & cheese, with a beautiful sunset view and cool breezes. You have to give NY credit for making every square inch of land count, and creating park/green space where ever they can. They made the narrow strip of land between the road and the river into a promenade (wide walking path with benches, trees etc) that runs the entire length of the city (from way above Central Park to the tip at Battery Park) along the Hudson River. What is so great for us, is that this is only about a 5 min walk from our studio. It is a breath of fresh air! Across the river is New Jersey -- so 2 of these photos are the buildings we see as we looked out toward NJ . The skyscraper is, of course, the Empire State Building, which came in to view as we looked back toward the city. We had seen it a couple times during the day, but it was quite stunning as the sun went down. Hudson Promade - we'll be back.
