Finally made it to the newly opened #MoynihanTrainHall. Looks good but marred by a distinct lack of public seating.

Taken a few weeks ago in the #Catskills. #KaaterskillFalls #PlatteClove

The #ConeyIslandBoardwalk at #dusk.

Joined the spontaneous celebration yesterday at #GrandArmyPlaza—a fitting location to cheer the defeat of a white supremacist fascist president, where the memorial arch was installed to honor the Union soldiers’ and sailors’ victory over the rebelling slave states in the Civil War.

A train crosses the #ManhattanBridge through the #fog.

Finally made it to the new #KosciuszkoBridge #BikeNYC path. A nice ride on the bridge, but unfortunately lacking any safe way to get there from the #Brooklyn side. And the #Queens side highlights the absurdity of carving car infrastructure into the middle of a city. #BQE #NYC #CableStayBridge

The nearly $6 billion NYPD budget is larger than the fire, sanitation, transportation, and parks departments combined. Sadly, @nyccouncil is voting on next year’s budget to keep it that way.

This #FathersDay I took my dad's old #SchwinnLeTour out for a photo shoot. #BrooklynBridgePark, #Brooklyn, #NYC. #NYCSkyline

No justice, no peace;

#DefundTheNYPD and get rid of their military cosplay

#Manhattan starting to feel more like a foreign country than the place I spent around fifty hours a week for the last five years. #BedStuy, #Brooklyn, #NYC

Proud to make food pantry deliveries this #MayDay with the @maketheroadny #MutualAid #BikeBrigade. Meanwhile, others in the organization are engaging in their #Recovery4All protest at @nygovcuomo's office and @jeffbezos's multimillion dollar mansion. The demands are as follows:

The #StMarksAve Children’s #Playground between #KingstonAve and #AlbanyAve was part of a visionary #superblock pilot spearheaded by #RFK shortly before his assassination. It's a great reminder that not every street must be centered around vehicle throughput. It would be great to see this design replicated across the rest of the city, especially where parks are scarce and children abundant. #CrownHeights, #Brooklyn, #NYC.

#ProspectPl between #KingstonAve and #AlbanyAve has not one but two raised midblock crosswalks, with pavers that rise flush with the sidewalk level. Each corner is marked by a large bench planter and bollards prevent cars from blocking the extended sidewalk that shortens the crossing distance. A+ Design. #CrownHeights, #Brooklyn, #NYC

#Carousel is closed (of course) but spring continues. #ProspectPark, #Brooklyn, #NYC.

#Magnolias still #blooming in #ProspectPark, #Brooklyn, #NYC.

Whaddya know, a #rainbow over the #RiverLiffey from the #HaPennyBridge on our last day in #Dublin, #Ireland!
