The New York Philharmonic


Once a year the New York Philharmonic puts on a free concert in Brooklyn's Prospect Park. They played on Tuesday night in Central Park. When the announcer got up to introduce the orchestra he said, "So last night the philharmonic played in Central Park. You know what we call that? Rehearsal." Brooklynites are very proud people and the crowd roared. Thousands of people showed up to enjoy the free music. Blankets all across the lawn, wine in plastic cups, cheese cut with my wine key. After the concert fireworks soared across the sky. I missed the 4th of July fireworks so it was such a treat to see some. A perfect Brooklyn night.
