Weekday Sketchers at Gansevoort Peninsula
Built on land and not a pier, the development of Gansevoort Peninsula, has given us a sandy beach right on the Hudson River. Just south of Little Island, is Gansevoort Peninsula is the newest addition to Hudson River Park. It offers us a beach, lawn, a salt marsh, picnic tables and fabulous views of across the Hudson River and the NYC skyline. Bring your sketchbook, a blanket and sunscreen for a unique beach adventure.
Fun Fact: The end of the Peninsula is the original 13th Avenue. (Did you know that there was a 13th Avenue? It had to be taken away when the ships got larger and blocked the shipping lanes in the river when docked!)
