Finally updated Flickr after a long break…

July 4th in NJ – Saw fireworks directly across from Manhattan, at Port Imperial.

Visited the High Line. Highly recommended for residents and tourists alike. It’s tricky to get up there – Best bet is to go to Gansevoort – that way, you get to start from the beginning.

Six Flags – spent most of the day at the water playground – probably the best choice for a 5 year old kid with sensitivities to sound and sights. He was a bit freaked out about roller coasters.

Manhattan Henge – Stone-henge like sunset at home.

Michael Jackson Marquee at the Apollo

And last but not least, a successful launch of the Harlem Market Hub on July 11.
