Who: Dan Where: Valentino Park Why: Although most of the NYC harbor is inaccessible to its citizens, there is a small beach in Red Hook that is part of Valentino Park. If one looks beyond the daily flotsam and jetsam that washes up on the beach, there exists a wonderful peacefulness and spaciousness that can easily be appreciated. The vista is huge and in the distance one sees the Statue of Liberty, Govornors Island, and downtown NYC. Lapping waves and the occasional clang of a buoy make it an exceptional spot to unwind, especially early in the morning. Tell us about your Special Place! Up to Top
