We did go to Prospect Park in Brooklyn and heard a little of the New York Philharmonic. It was an outdoor concert and everyone was drinking and having fun and I heard more of Brooklyn's gossip than the music. Secondly, they were on the approach way to JKF, so planes kept flying by at low level... So, while I enjoyed the experience, the music was only a part of it.sagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17499891950639742366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9454941.post-16448871634141935032015-07-02T15:28:02.943-04:002015-07-02T15:28:02.943-04:00The google photo car wouldn't have been able t...The google photo car wouldn't have been able to get down on the point, which has a nice view of the city and especially the UNsagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17499891950639742366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9454941.post-69173182502436726152015-07-02T15:07:58.519-04:002015-07-02T15:07:58.519-04:00I had a look at teh island on the goo maps.

Saying that, I've never felt the urge to seek refuge when in New York City. I guess because I am mentally prepared heading there that everything will have people and I've never spent more than a week there at a time. I also come from a place where I have to seek out crowds so going to a large city like that with lots of people is kind of a novelty and I find myself doing a lot of people watching instead of seeking solace.Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13214319366049620074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9454941.post-7205297422514508392015-07-02T14:27:24.908-04:002015-07-02T14:27:24.908-04:00You said there was a concert - who was playing, an...You said there was a concert - who was playing, and did you get to see it?Sherry Ellishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07844837212122243321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9454941.post-46005163924627061222015-07-02T14:26:19.418-04:002015-07-02T14:26:19.418-04:00It's nice to know that even in a big city, the...It's nice to know that even in a big city, there are places to "get away from it all."Sherry Ellishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07844837212122243321noreply@blogger.com
