My New York City people get ready for three Saturdays( August 7 – August 21, 2010) this month. Park Avenue and connecting streets will be closed to traffic and open to the PUBLIC! From 7am to 1pm the public can do anything on the streets of Park Avenue, from bike riding to strolling to dancing.BUT WAIT! Word is that you will also be able to swim. This year includes clean, unused shipping containers that have been transformed into three swimming pools, which will be located near Grand Central Terminal. The pool is free to the public as well, but admissions bracelets will be handed out on a first-come, first-served basis.
So, if you happen to be on Park Avenue and seem to hear less noise from the traffic....don't say I didn't warn you!
