"Manhattan Bridge's 100th
birthday celebration"
11am, Thur, Dec 31
Manhattan Bridge's south walkway
The Manhattan Bridge -- New York's last great East River crossing -- turns 100 next Thursday. The city -- dodging weather and any sense of anniversarial integrity -- celebrated in October.
We're celebrating on its birthday. And you're invited.
If you're in New York, meet at 11am December 31, mid-way across the southern-facing pedestrian walkway on the bridge. After a group handshake, we'll walk to Brooklyn -- as the original crossing of a "little calvalcade of automobiles and carriages" did a century ago -- and have cake and receive commemorative booklets in the north end of the Empire Fulton Ferry State Park (aka "Brooklyn Bridge Park," aka "Phil Collins Park" for the chosen setting at the 1:35 mark of this video) under the bridge in Brooklyn's Dumbo. It's OK to meet at the park, by 11:45am.
