Photo by myself in Bryant Park, at 42nd Street and Sixth Avenue.
Folks were at it, Wednesday night. Two competitive petanque games were under way. New Yorkers are bent on enjoying all the good weather they can. Fall and Spring are our most fleeting seasons.
The premise of petanque (pay-tonk) is rather simple - players toss their metal balls to lay as close to a little wooden marker as possible. Knocking opponents balls out of the way is fair game!
Serious players can finish the season with two competitions coming up on September 18 and 19th. To learn more on the Bryant Park website, click here.
