Fun things to do in New York: Mermaid Parade

The Mermaid Parade happens in mid-June. I have no idea why. But since Coney Island is defunct, maybe these photos will retain some historical value.



RIP Coney Island.



I'm Barack Obama, and I approve this message.



Add a flower and it's almost a Carrie Bradshaw outfit.



This is what Carsten looks like when hungover.



Just another local out for a stroll on the boardwalk.

More fun at Roehouse!




At Roehouse, all the cakes we eat look like these.





A typical summer evening...

How to go on a hike in NY




A fun hike to do in the City. This is how you do it. 1- Go to Grand Central. 2- Take MTA train - the Hudson (green) line to Cold Spring. It should be like half an hour. 3- Follow crowd of hikers leaving train station until you find a trail. 4- Hike trail. Ask hikers that you run into, whether you are going the right direction. 5- Have fun!





You see will rocks that look like heads.





In the immortal words of my good friend Hilary, don't eat shit you find on the street, my friends.





Good for the morchella esculenta type of mushroom, apparently.
