Ten activities for the fearless New Yorker to consider during the hurricane.
Sure, it’s a hurricane (and a big one at that). But you’re a New Yorker with a weekend to plan. So here are ten activities you might want to consider for Sunday (most of them, optimally, timed to the arrival of Irene, and all of them with links to help facilitate your adventure).
1). Fly a complex kite in Central Park.
2). Jet ski around Wall Street.
3). Window shop on 5th Avenue with a tiny umbrella purchased from a Somalian street vendor.
4). Play golf in Van Cortland Park.
5). Try surfing into the Staten Island Ferry terminal.
6). Become the first paddleboard barista in Greenpoint.
7). Get Jim Cantore drunk on Saturday night.
8). Surf cast for stripers from your living room window in Red Hook.
9). Scuba dive through the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel.
10). Surprise your friends with a Sunday supper of par boiled placenta over egg noodles (you can’t make this shit up – see the current issue of New York Magazine for recipe details).
