If you’re from the city and have this mindset that NY doesn’t have much to offer other than the city, you’ll be pleasantly surprised. We were welcomed by a beautiful cove, the beach in some areas were made of smooth rocks and in others, traditional sand. There were also sand dunes, swamp areas, scalable mini mountains and beyond that a huge stretch of beach that was left alone entirely. So if you wanted the cove or the ocean, it was all yours.

I’ve been eyeing this place ever since it started development. Friends and I would walk up and down the high line to the Javits Center pointing at the massive drill structure, meanwhile making Gurren Lagann references.

Happy to say the homies secured tickets to this super crowded attraction. It was free but you had to rsvp ahead of time since it was so popular. So decided to go with a couple of friends that were also photographers.
