I like to take a "big" trip every now and again. But Memorial Day weekend is one of those times I'd prefer not to. The weather has been warm and sticky; it rained on and off on Friday and Saturday. But one of the great things about being in New York on a weekend like this one can be seen here:
This is the view down Washington Street, near the entrance to the Holland Tunnel. I was on a bike, and I had it all to myself.
Ironically, the most congested part of Manhattan may well have been the Greenway along the Hudson River, only a block away. Tourists always flock to the Intrepid, which is about two miles up the Greenway, for this holiday. And, it seems that everyone who isn't going there renting a bike, or stopping to sprawl themselves across the Greenway to take photos.
Here is another view from Spring Street:
After my ride, I went to the barbeque my fiend Millie has every year. I more than made up for all of the calories I burned on my ride!
