Ride the High Line
Central New Yorker’s are fearless.
Who else could endure and enjoy an outdoor festival and a zip line during moderate winds and temperatures in the high-30s? Despite the chilly weather however, the attendance at inaugural the Zip Line Fest and Food Truck Rodeo was steady and strong. Students, business owners from the neighborhood, elected officials, and even families from other states (today was the last day of Parent’s Weekend at SU) filled Forman Park, and the crowds spilled onto East Genesee street on Sunday.
Parks & Rec Commissioner Baye Muhammad came out with his family to enjoy the festivities.
The energy the event created rivaled Armory Square, and maybe even more well-known public spaces such as Byrant Park, Rittenhouse Square, or Dupont Circle.
Dancing in the Park was also a highlight of the day.
PB&J’s Lunchbox also invaded the Eastside for the day (the mobile food truck is usually in Armory Square).
What a lively and unique way to kick off Phase two of the Connective Corridor construction project.
