All Queens, All the Time

Yesterday was an adventure into Queens to scratch two things off "The List" - a dance at P.S. 1's "Warm Up" and running barefoot in the cool sand at the Water Taxi Beach. Done and done!

Despite a slow start and dismal weather all day, we eventually got out the door around 5pm and had a great time!

Wake up, B!



There were scattered showers all day, but the view from Long Island City, Queens into Manhattan never gets dull - even with the gray clouds.



P.S. 1's "The Warm Up" - rated NYC's "Best Club" in 2005 by Time Out New York.

After that, it was off to the Water Taxi Beach for some fun in the sand. It was a bit of a walk from P.S. 1, but it was fun to explore a new neighborhood (Long Island City), and after about an hour, the kids from P.S. 1 all started making their way over there, too! I guess we're kind of trend setters. ;-)



I'm not sure exactly what they were going for with the psychedelic palm tree...



Just like taking pictures of Christmas trees and sunsets, these pictures don't do justice to the incredible view that we had of the New York City skyline lit up last night.
