“Early in the morning of Sept. 24, more than a h “Early in the morning of Sept. 24, more than a hundred enthusiastic folks gathered at ONE15 Brooklyn Marina in Brooklyn Bridge Park for a unique adventure: rowing around the entire island of Manhattan in 26-foot Whitehall rowing gigs — a trip of almost 30 miles. Every fall for 14 years, friends and co-workers have joined together in teams to raise money for the nonprofit Rocking the Boat and its programs for youth in the South Bronx. The organization teaches the skills involved in boat building, sailing and environmental science, and provides strong social support.” Read the rest of our “SEE IT: Rowing 30 miles around Manhattan for Rocking the Boat nonprofit” article, which is linked in our bio.

As she walked, Amal appeared as if she was searching her surroundings for a place to call home —  sometimes peering into second-story windows, sometimes leaning against traffic signs, looking weary. Hundreds of well-wishers greeted her at each stop and followed her, gaping and clapping as she traveled, accompanied by several unobtrusive puppeteers.” Read the rest of our “Little Amal visits Brooklyn, and residents fall in love” article, which is linked in our bio.
