Weekday Sketchers on Little Island

Little Island, a New $260 Million Charmer, Opens on the Hudson - The New  York Times


Can you imagine being able to build an island in the Hudson River and then load it up with beautiful trees, paths, an amphitheater. an outdoor food court, fun things to do, like a keyboard built into the floor and optical illusions spinning in space.  Well you don't have to imagine it.  It is here!  

Join us this week as we explore the newest piece of real estate in NYC.  Come to Little Island and spend the day experiencing this most unusual place, its landscaping and all the people coming and going up and down the hills and trails.
