✨Open Contact, NYC Edition. ✨ Where are all my fellow New Yorkers at?!
Now I don’t know for absolute certain whether or not they even intend on showing up in the city for OC. If they do however, I see it happening more or less along the Hudson River. It’s both far away enough so that it doesn’t feel threatening and yet just close enough that people can actually see it and interact with it. It gives ample space for large crowds to gather around, as well as allowing for prime viewing, particularly for an extended period of time, given the plethora of lush green lawn space around. It gives people a chance to feel at ease, sit back and enjoy themselves, not to mention it gives ample aerial space for news choppers to hover around and do their thing. I’m thinking it’s a win-win-win. Something here for ALL. 🤌🏼
Now, if the craft started out there, migrated along the river northward and then hovered somewhere around here (see photos below), I’m thinking it’d give people the opportunity to come up real close to the craft, as it’s situated higher up on pillars. 😍 And yes, this place is real. (It’s called Little Island, situated at Pier 55 along the Hudson River in case anyone ever intends on visiting. 🤗)
The greenery doesn’t obstruct the view at all, fyi. I think all this nature along the river actually quite nicely holistically mirrors the natural/ ‘organic’ unfolding of Contact. Also, there are barricades/fences in place, so even families with small children can watch safely up-close as well.
…The craft(s) along with a sunset/sunrise?! Are you kidding me?! That’s the most beautiful Open Contact backdrop if I ever saw one. 🤩
Another potential viewing-spot in the city I suppose could be along the East River (opposite side of the island; includes the FDR Drive, LI City, etc.), but that side has less going for it, I feel. There’s also Brighton Beach in Brooklyn, which is one of the largest beaches closest to the city.. meh, it’s not exactly the nicest/cleanest. And then, of course, there’s Long Island with its plethora of lovely beaches, though many of the nice ones are more private so...
Ahh, having so much fun with this. 😍 We shall see. Super exciting just to think about! 🥳
