We’ve been to Washington Square Park before—but not since the very first time we met, back in the summer of 2011. It was high time for another visit.
So off we went, a small band that included one current NYU student and one alum (for extra neighborhood cred), meeting up by the famous arch and baking a while on the grass before heading into the fountain for a cooling-off dip.
Has there ever been a more wonderful sensation than cool water on sun-warmed skin? It was blissful. And we’re happy to report that none of the Village denizens complained about the topless women frolicking in their midst. (Though a few were a bit overenthusiastic, as a few always are; but that’s a topic for another post.)
The Dixieland band that was playing in the park that day, led by a topless (male) tuba player, came over to serenade us with a tuba rendition of “My Heart Will Go On,” leading us to take a stab at imitating the famous Leo/Kate prow-of-the-boat pose…
…and then someone handed us a pair of maracas, so we could play along.
Later, we got the most delicious gelato I have ever tasted, from Mario Battali’s “GelOtto” cart, and listed to visiting Australian balladeer Lachlan Cross, who was in New York on his way to Burning Man.
All in all, one of the finest summer afternoons any girl has ever had. It’s on days like this that you wish summer could go on forever…
Looks like a great day! Been mostly rain here in Georgia, so I’d have loved to been there instead!
That’s the kind of day everyone should have the pleasure of. Females should be topless just like the men, what’s the problem?
That man with the horn must be a tubador!
August has been quite cool here. September could still heat up with summertime temperatures
j’aimerais bien y passer avec vous mais héla…
c’est très beau ce que vous faites et cela me fait….
I think I have that same tiger towel.
That looks like Zachary Francis Condon from Beirut. (trumpet) What kind of music were they playing?
A pretty wide range, but with a sort of Dixieland flavor. The repertoire included “New York, New York” and the Mister Softee jingle…
