On three Saturdays in the month of August the city of New York closes Park Avenue to traffic from the 70s all the way down to Christopher Street. The street is then open to cyclists, roller-bladers, runners and walkers.
We decided to take the subway down to Grand Central and walk down Park Avenue from there. It was a very nice day, with great weather and a fun dip in a DUMPSTER POOL!
The dumpster pools came about in the last year or so. An effort to bring portable pools to the hot mess of New York City - they have become something of an attraction on their own.
They were installed not far from Grand Central and my daughter and I had a nice dip in a dumpster on this warm afternoon.
You can't tell by the photos, but it was pretty darn COLD! I did get used to the water temperature after a few minutes, but she took a little longer to get comfy.
We toweled off and then headed uptown, walking home through Central Park.
All in all a great day!
