Weekday Sketchers at Sutton Place Parks
Like a sting of pearls along the East River, (how appropriate for one of the wealthiest streets in the city!) Sutton Place Park has been renovated and is ready for a sketch outing. Originally 5 vest pocket parks, the new plan connects them into one long stretch along the river from 53rd ro 59th Street. River views with the Queensborough Bridge in the background, landscaped gardens, playgrounds and of course the celebrated Boar Stature will provide plenty of sketch sites for us. Thanks to Andrea Strongwater for suggesting this location.
