Parked in Prospect Park

On the grass, Prospect Park

Temperatures rose to 90F this Sunday, sending everyone to the parks.

The great thing about the parks is that they're public. Very few New Yorkers have backyards to lounge in. Prospect Park has barbecue grilles for use, or you can bring your own. There are rolling hills, baseball diamonds and ponds.

And...the drawback about parks is that they're public. You have to deal with other people, their noise and their messes. By the end of each day, there are napkins, bottles, and full paper plates of food on the grass.

Prospect Park was packed with people, Sunday afternoon. Groups were grilling food alongside Little League games and soccer players.

I was thinking about how crazy it was that it reached 90 in NY so early in the season. I hope that isn't a sign of a hot hot summer. Regardless, 90 is perfect and you captured a great mood here. ahhh...
