I used to go to Riverside Park or Chelsea Park on July 4th for fire works which means police tells you to change your spot every 30 minutes. This after walking along the river for a few hours to find that perfect spot (doesn't exist). Or you can sit on concrete for 6 hours. Plus you have to pass 12th Ave gate from 20th st to 60th before 3pm. That wasn't Mr. Meen cat's style.
