Riverside Park is a scenic waterfront public park on the Upper West Side of the borough of Manhattan in New York City, operated and maintained by the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation. The park consists of a narrow 4-mile (6.4 km) strip of land between the Hudson River and the gently curving rise-and-fall of Riverside Drive. When the park was first laid out, access to the river was blocked by the right-of-way of the New York Central Railroad West Side Line; later the railroad track was covered over with an esplanade lined with honey-locusts. Riverside Park also contains part of the Manhattan Waterfront Greenway, which encircles Manhattan's waterfronts with car-free bike routes.
The 191 acres (0.77 km2) of land which form the original area of the Park (from 72nd to 125th Streets) were undeveloped prior to construction of the Hudson River Railroad, built in 1846 to connect New York City to Albany. The first proposal to convert the riverside precipice into a park was contained in a pamphlet written by William R. Martin, a parks commissioner, in 1865. In 1866, a bill introduced into the Legislature by commissioner Andrew Green was approved, the first segment of park was acquired through condemnation in 1872, and construction began.
The most used sections of Riverside Park are on the tiered slopes between the Hudson and Riverside Drive from 72nd Street to 125th Street. Riverside Park South extends from 72nd to 59th Street on the former Penn Central yard, with an old locomotive on display. Riverside Park South leads to Hudson River Park which goes all the way south to the tip of Manhattan. There is also a northern section of the park from 135th Street to 155th Street and adjacent to Riverbank State Park. Paths along the river connect the park to Hudson River Park to the south and Fort Washington Park to the north. The portion from 181st Street to Dyckman Street, including Inspiration Point, fell into disrepair and disuse in the late 20th century, and was restored at the turn of the century.
Riverside Park is embellished with numerous notable monuments and statues, including the:
Amiable Child Monument, at Riverside Drive north of 122nd Street, on the slope north of Grant's Tomb; it commemorates the long-ago death of a beloved child, a small boy who died in what was then an area of country homes near New York City. One side of the monument reads: “Erected to the Memory of an Amiable Child, St. Claire Pollock, Died 15 July 1797 in the Fifth Year of His Age.” The monument is composed of a granite urn on a granite pedestal inside a wrought iron fence. The monument, originally erected by George Pollock, who was either the boy's father or his uncle, has been replaced twice due to deterioration. The monument is thought to be the only single-person private grave on city-owned land in New York City.
Eleanor Roosevelt Monument at 72nd Street (Penelope Jencks, sculptor)
Grant's Tomb at Riverside Drive and West 122nd Street, inspired by the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus (John Hemenway Duncan, architect)
Joan of Arc statue at 93rd Street (Anna Hyatt Huntington, sculptor; John V. Van Pelt, architect)
Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument, which commemorates Civil War veterans of both the Union Army and Navy, stands at the west end of 89th Street.
Riverside Park almost received a monument to the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. A granite plaque was set in the paving at the end of the Promenade, near 84th Street, on October 19, 1947.

Lyndhurst Mansion and Other Castles of New York
When you think castle you probably think medieval times or maybe you think Belvedere Castle in Central Park. But a lot of majestic castles are scattered throughout New York State.
North of New York City is Bannerman Castle. Its namesake was Irishman Francis Bannerman, who owned an ammunitions company in Brooklyn. He bought the island in 1901 and had the castle built to store military surplus. The state purchased the island in 1967. After a fire destroyed most of the castle in 1969, it became off-limits to the public. (The island eventually became part of Hudson Highlands State Park Preserve.)
In the Great Lakes region, you'll find Boldt Castle. George Boldt, a former manager of the Waldorf-Astoria, commissioned this castle in 1900. It was once one of the largest private homes in the United States. Today, it is a tourist attraction.
Hundreds of years ago, a castle was a structure that had to be fortified from attack. But after arriving at Lyndhurst Mansion in Tarrytown, I learned that times have changed.
Lyndhurst was built in 1838. It was designed by architect Alexander Jackson Davis, the same man who designed Federal Hall on Wall Street.
The grand entryway is just a hint of what is inside. One of the first rooms you enter is a parlor where guests gathered before dinner. This was a room designed for conversation.
On our way to the paintings gallery, we passed a bathroom and the duchess's room complete with vintage Louis Vuitton trunk. The gallery made it clear that owner Jay Gould loved collecting fine art.
Almost 200 years after the gothic revival home was built, Lyndhurst remains a crown jewel on the shore of the Hudson River.

Places to see in ( New York - USA ) Hayden Planetarium
Places to see in ( New York - USA ) Hayden Planetarium
The Rose Center for Earth and Space is a part of the American Museum of Natural History in New York City. The Center's complete name is The Frederick Phineas and Sandra Priest Rose Center for Earth and Space. The main entrance is located on the northern side of the museum on 81st Street near Central Park West in Manhattan's Upper West Side. Completed in 2000, it includes the new Hayden Planetarium, the original of which was opened in 1935 and closed in 1997. Neil deGrasse Tyson is its first and, to date, only director.
The Hayden Planetarium (often called The Hayden Sphere or The Great Sphere) has, since 2000, been one of the two main attractions within the Rose Center. It was established by the State of New York in 1933, some of the funding coming from philanthropist Charles Hayden. The top half of the Hayden Sphere houses the Star Theater, which uses high-resolution fulldome video to project “space shows” based on scientific visualization of current astrophysical data, in addition to a customized Zeiss Star Projector system replicating an accurate night sky as seen from Earth. The Star Theater is one of the world's pre-eminent planetariums, which incorporates high-resolution full-dome video to create space shows, based in scientific visualization of current astrophysical data.
The Big Bang Theater, which occupies the bottom half of the Hayden Sphere, depicts the birth of the universe in a four-minute program. Utilizing a screen that measures 36 feet (11 m) in diameter over an 8-foot-deep (2.4 m) bowl, a four-minute program depicts the birth of the universe, with narration by Liam Neeson. The Big Bang Theater serves as an introduction to the Heilbrun Cosmic Pathway, a spiral which wraps around the sphere, connecting the second and first floors of the Rose Center. The cosmic pathway provides a timeline of the universe's history from the Big Bang to the present day. The Heilbrun Cosmic Pathway is one of the most popular exhibits in the Rose Center, which opened February 19, 2000. The Hayden Planetarium offers a number of courses and public presentations including the Frontiers of Astrophysics and Distinguished Authors lecture series.

⁴ᴷ Walking The High Line in New York City in its entirety - September 2018
Google Maps Route:
I walk the entirety of the High Line elevated park from West 34th Street near 12th Avenue to Gansevoort Street in Manhattan during Labor Day Weekend 2018. Reupload since the previous version ( was missing 4 minutes of footage in the beginning.
From Wikipedia:
The High Line (also known as High Line Park) is a 1.45-mile-long (2.33 km) elevated linear park, greenway and rail trail. It was created on a former New York Central Railroad spur on the west side of Manhattan in New York City. Led by landscape architecture firm James Corner Field Operations, the abandoned railway has been redesigned as a living system that draws from multiple disciplines including landscape architecture, urban design, and ecology. Since opening in 2009, the High Line has become an icon in contemporary landscape architecture.
The park is built on the disused southern viaduct section of a New York Central Railroad line called the West Side Line. Originating in the Lower West Side of Manhattan, the park runs from Gansevoort Street – three blocks below 14th Street – in the Meatpacking District, through Chelsea, to the northern edge of the West Side Yard on 34th Street near the Javits Center. Formerly, the West Side Line went as far south as a railroad terminal at Spring Street, just north of Canal Street. However, most of the southern section was demolished in 1960, with another small portion being demolished in 1991.

⁴ᴷ Walking Tour of Columbia University in Manhattan, NYC
Enjoy this walking tour of Columbia University's Morningside Heights campus in NYC.
From Wikipedia:
Columbia University (Columbia; officially Columbia University in the City of New York), established in 1754, is a private Ivy League research university in Upper Manhattan, New York City. Columbia contains the oldest college in the state of New York and is the fifth chartered institution of higher learning in the United States, making it one of nine colonial colleges founded prior to the Declaration of Independence. It was established as King's College by royal charter of George II of Great Britain and renamed Columbia College in 1784 following the American Revolutionary War. The university has produced numerous distinguished alumni. In 2017 its undergraduate acceptance rate was 5.5%, which made it the third most selective college in the United States and the second most selective in the Ivy League.
A 1787 charter placed the institution under a private board of trustees before it was renamed Columbia University in 1896 when the campus was moved from Madison Avenue to its location in Morningside Heights occupying 32 acres (13 ha) of land. Columbia is one of the fourteen founding members of the Association of American Universities and was the first school in the United States to grant the M.D. degree. The university administers the Pulitzer Prize annually.
The university is organized into twenty schools, including undergraduate as well as graduate schools. The university also has several affiliates outside of the US, called Columbia Global Centers.
The university has graduated many notable alumni, including five Founding Fathers of the United States, including an author of the United States Constitution and a member of the Committee of Five. As of 2011, there were 125 Pulitzer Prize winners and 39 Oscar winners, as well as three United States presidents. As of 2006, there were 101 National Academy members who were alumni.

Karan Viegas - Bicyclesong / The Triphonies of Kavi
Presenting to you my debut single, Bicyclesong / The Triphonies of Kavi, a whimsically majestic, genre-fluid score to visuals that tell a story of a protagonist's bicycle tours around the world.
The piece is written in 3 movements, 2.5 mins each: the 1st founded in big band & fusion jazz, the 2nd a psychedelic electronic tangent, and the 3rd an orchestral climax followed by a solo piano retreat.
Over 2018, I had the privilege of fleeing from my base in New York City to visit some wonderful places around the world and tour them on bicycle. In early 2019, I decided to compile some of the video footage as an excuse to make some music. Here is the fruit of my labour!

USA: NEW YORK: MOLE PEOPLE SEEKING SHELTER IN RAILWAY TUNNELS
English/Nat
For decades homeless people in New York have sought shelter in the maze of railway and subway tunnels that run beneath the city.
Their underground existence - one of almost total isolation from the outside world - has become a legend among New Yorkers.
Over the years, many have built subterranean homes where they cook, care for pets and work hard to keep out the bitter cold. And they've ignored attempts to shift them.
But now, the Amtrack railway company which owns the tunnels has decided it wants the tunnel dwellers out once and for all.
Few passers-by ever notice the tunnel dwellers slipping through these gates and descending to their underworld community.
New Yorkers know they're there, but few spare them a thought and even fewer have ever encountered them or seen how they live.
Down below, the tunnel dwellers have collected the trappings of everyday life.
Once underground, a tunnel dweller's biggest worry is watching out for the trains that speed by at 70 miles an hour. (110 kilometres per hour)
But that danger aside, some say they prefer living here, away from the chaos of modern society.
SOUNDBITE:
I basically simplified this existence. One has to be resourceful and that's the key to it all. Boiling water are the few necessities in this existence. I had ten, 12 people dwelling here for about a two-year time period.
SUPER CAPTION: Bernard Isaac, Tunnel Dweller
There's a rigorous routine to life underground; although the tunnels provide shelter, they are not warm.
Bernard's biggest priority is collecting enough wood each day to keep the fire going.
He also gets up in the early hours each day to go out to collect bottles and cans for recycling.
That's how he makes money for food and other necessities.
The hard grind means there's no time for drugs and alcohol.
Bernard and his neighbors are strictly anti-substance abuse and wouldn't welcome addicts into their midst.
Many people would find it hard to comprehend why anyone would chose to live underground.
But Margaret Morton, a photojournalist who has recently published a book about life in tunnels, has come to understand it.
SOUNDBITE:
Homeless people, interestingly enough, have created their own housing, they've created a place for themselves along the street, and they found that, ironically, it creates a situation that's much closer to what one could have in an apartment because they can have their own possessions, they can have their own furniture - a table, a chair, a desk, a bed. They can have pets, which they can't have in a shelter, and they can have a sense of community.

Bernard has been in the tunnel for about ten years.
But soon he will be leaving, not only because Amtrak is asking him to, but because he feels ready for a new challenge.
His former neighboUr, Bob Kalinski, moved out two months ago into housing provided by the city for former homeless people like the tunnel dwellers.
He's enjoying his life above ground, but it's been a big adjustment.
SOUNDBITE:
Our average was zero to ten below. We were built, we were bundled for it and used to it and so I never had a cold. You know, it's just the idea, it wore on me after a while. The constant getting up... times I didn't want to go out... wasn't feeling good. Then after I had a heart attack it was kind of hard for me, even though we still did it.

The city has started a programme to get homeless people out of shelters and off the streets and into decent, affordable housing.
Bob got moved quickly, but Bernard, one of the first to sign up, is still waiting.
Others, however, don't want to move.
