An Evening In New York City's Bryant Park

Like many of New York's parks in the 1970's Bryant Park had it's share of the dark side. A partnership of New York City and private businesses has  transformed it. Attractions and activities vary, from Ice Skating in the winter months to summer evening movies on the lawn.

It's been a while since my last entry, too many bicycle-less weekends have gone by. No excuses, just me being a sloth. Let me rephrase that more politically correct, there comes a time when one needs to step back and take a break. I think thats what I needed... okay so it's an excuse. Anyway, as the new year rolls forward and with resolutions abound it was time for me to put the pedal to the medal. Well, actually put the skis to the snow. The seasons first snow storm left 20+ inches on the ground, virtually shut down New York City for almost 48 hours. Fahnestock has plenty of snow for me to test my stamina after weeks of being a couch potato.
