A sight you don’t see often – yesterday, an authentic-looking tall ship cruised past Roosevelt Island. The sails were down, but she rode the current as if driven by the wind as in the old days.

Because it’s UN Week with the General Assembly in session, security demanded a police escort.
What the Promenade Remembers
A morning walk, a small act, and the quiet difference between what we notice and what we leave behind.
The light on the East River in the early morning is different from the light anywhere else on the Island. It comes in low and sideways, catching the water in long, uneven flashes. On certain days it makes the promenade feel less like a walkway and more like a corridor someone once meant to finish but never quite did. When I was younger I found the suggestion to stop and look at it faintly ridiculous.
