The beating heart of New York City, Manhattan, can now also have a stand. This offers a unique view; from there you can see the Statue of Liberty and the new World Trade Center, among other things.
The so-called Gansevoort Peninsula in the southwest of the island on the Hudson River opened with sand, umbrellas and lounge chairs – right next to the Whitney Museum, High Line Park and David Hammons’ “Day’s End” artwork, which juts out into the river.
Dozens of people took advantage of the warm, sunny autumn days that began in New York in October after heavy rain to explore the man-made beach and take photos. For example, you can kayak from the beach, but swimming is officially not allowed for safety reasons.
Actually, the ‘Gansevoort Peninsula’ should have opened months ago – at the beginning of summer. But construction delays delayed the project’s completion.
In total, the New York metropolis has almost 23 kilometers of natural beaches, but so far only in the four other boroughs, namely Queens, Brooklyn, Bronx and Staten Island.
