I drove the kids into the city (NYC), picked up my mother and rode the subway down to Union Square to see a 2-day architectural display called 'Sukkah City'. What is a sukkah? The sukkah is a temporary structure erected for one week each fall for Jews to gather to celebrate the harvest.
This was a design competition, 600 architects entered and only 12 radically innovative structures were chosen to be displayed in the square yesterday and today. We had a chance to cast our vote for our favorite sukkah, which will then stand in the square for the duration of the holiday of Sukkot, which begins this Wednesday.
Here are a few of my favorites...
My kids loved it and were snapping photos on their phones to send to friends...
After strolling through the square for about an hour we headed a few blocks south to 'The Stand' for a burger and the best shake I've ever had... "Marshmallow Shake"...
We finished the day at Spin, a table-tennis club on 23rd and Park Avenue. My 14 year-old is obsessed with ping-pong!
We had a great day... I miss the city and all the energy swirling the air!
What's your perfect day in NYC?
