In NYC

Spent the holiday weekend in NYC celebrating July 4th and also the 400th anniversary of Henry Hudson sailing up the Hudson. There was sun and nice weather for the fireworks. Walked around Manhattan a bit and made it over to Brooklyn briefly. A selection of pics:

A view of The Highline, a park recently opened that's actually an old raised railway line. Very cool to have park space winding through buildings.

Blue deviled eggs. We had plenty of red and white foods for a small pre-fireworks party, so these (somewhat) blue appetizers helped even things out.


A trailer park in Brooklyn. (Get it? There's a park... in an old camping trailer.)
Hard to see this one, but it's a sign on the Williamsburg Bridge that reads "Leaving Brooklyn. Oy Vey!"
