THE WILLIAMSBURG BRIDGE

SUSPENSION BRIDGE OVER EAST RIVER 

My pre-dawn run along the waterfront in Brooklyn ended with this view of the 1903 Williamsburg Bridge.

It connects the Lower East Side of Manhattan with Williamsburg.

It has a pedestrian pathway and bike lanes.

MANHATTAN SKYLINE

FROM LONG ISLAND CITY

Even though the super-tall buildings are vintage 2021, there's something about the tone and texture of this image that feels like 1970s NYC.

MANHATTAN SKYLINE

FROM LONG ISLAND CITY


Gantry Plaza State Park is the perfect waterfront location for photographing the Manhattan skyline.

The park, fronting the East River, is totally wheelchair-accessible.

AFFINIA GARDENS AGREES TO BUY TRANSFER BATH BENCH

UPPER EAST SIDE MANHATTAN HOTEL MAKES UP FOR FAILURE TO BOOK REQUESTED ROLL-IN SHOWER ROOM WITH TUB SHOWER & SAFE TRANSFER SHOWER BENCH.

Refer to our last post about the goof up by Affinia Gardens.

The Director of Operations decided to make the wise, less than $100 including shipping, move to buy a bench that would safely accommodate Heidi during our upcoming visit.

While the reservations team needs to do a better job in complying with requests -- and the hotel with apartment-sized rooms that markets to disabled guests should have more roll-in shower suites -- we applaud this move.

We also, as returning guests, requested free wi-fi and were granted that privilege, which shaves $15 per day per labtop/ipad from the bill.

Stay tuned for reports on access after we have stayed a week-plus at this property conveniently close to Central Park and a subway station with an elevator.
