HNY!
A Happy New Year to my upper west side neighbors! While we may sometimes disagree spiritually and politically, let’s continue to work together on making the UWS the best & friendliest neighborhood in Manhattan!!
Peace, Love, & Health to ALL in 2016!
Wonderful thoughts.
Guy, thank you for those beautiful pics. We went to see the show from inside the Park and it was stunning and the end was spectacular. Your pictures actually do it justice. Happy New Year to my fellow UWS’ers.
Where do they launch the fireworks from a newer building blocks my view. (location in the park)
Enter the park at 72nd Street, follow to the right and the road curves around toward the left. Race starts near there and fireworks at Cherry Blossom Fountain.
Here’s hoping 2016 will go down in history as the year Donald Trump won the Presidency.
Hoping the majority of Americans don’t make decisions motivated by hate and fear, but, you know, good luck to you.
And thank you, West Side Rag — Avi and your crackerjack staff for keeping us informed all year long — often long before the other media know anything. Wishing you a great 2016!
Let’s make 2016 a peaceful year.
WSR keep up the good work!
