Who doesn’t love a stroll along Riverside Drive on a Friday night? This raccoon family traipsed along the barrier wall between Riverside Park and the sidewalk on Friday around 8:05 p.m., catching the eye of Upper West Sider Samantha Moshen. Thanks Samantha!

I think I saw them later that evening – in front of the women’s health monument at 116th St. in the lamplight. At first I thought they were XL NYC rats!
