BLOCK PARTY FOR KIDS ON NYC's UPPER WEST SIDE- MY NEW VIDEO

MY NEW VIDEO: BLOCK PARTY ON West 93rd Street in Manhattan, June 6 2013- WITH KIDS IN MIND

Ethnically, this is a very mixed area and you see it at the block party...

Above: "Tiki Island" with its climbing walls

Unlike a lot of times, the face painting was good here

In this batting game, the ball is held aloft by a jet of air

Fish, fish, she got her wish

This Trampoline type set-up came under the Imprimature of the Rangers Ice Hockey Team

I assume some of the baked goods were Gluten Free ( in this Day and Age)

What is a good block party without In-Your-Face balloons

Zealous singer belted out  such tunes as"La Bamba," and here, with accompanists, "This Land is Your Land"--which should please my old friend George Rosen, who once referred to Pete Seeger as "the sainted Pete Seeger" ( or maybe not, if he hears this rendition) (LOL)


NOTHING LIKE A GOOD BLOCK PARTY WITH LOTS OF GAMES , RIDES, AND DISTRACTIONS 

I BELIEVE THIS KID ORIENTED PARTY HAD SCHOOLS AS SPONSORS

AND WHAT IS SO RARE AS A DAY IN JUNE

HERE, BETWEEN AMSTERDAM AND COLUMBUS ON WEST 93rd STREET ON THE UPPER WEST SIDE OF MANHATTAN....
