Summer Streets

I know it's been a while since my last post and my parents have been telling me that I need to better at writing these more frequently, but until they decide to invest in bark recognition software, you guys are just going to have to hold out until I can either convince my dad to stop playing with excel spreadsheets or my mom to focus on me instead of the Challenge or Jersey Shore.

Either way, here's what i've been up to!

In August, NYC closes down Park Avenue from 72nd to Wall Street to cars and only allows bikes and anything that has more then two legs to walk on.  It's called Summer Streets and I have to admit that I wish it wasn't limited to Summer, but i guess i might be barking a different story if in December when Park is filled with snow.

Both weekends my walks have taken me in different directions up and down Park Ave.  The 1st weekend my parents walked me down to Union Square (14th street) and we were able to walk into a food city picnic area where the smells of food were amazing.  This past weekend, they decided to run me up to 64th  and back.  Again, it's great to have a car free street that i can run, walk, and "do my business" on!!

Here's a little preview:






I have to admit, i was one tired pup after the running Saturday!  Looking forward to Summer Streets this coming Saturday!!

  1. I am very impressed with how many community activities NYC seems to have. I probably should have stayed closer to Manhattan rather then Jamaica Queens.
