To mark the beginning of Hanukkah on Sunday, Dec. 18, the Jewish Learning Center will host its annual menorah lighting at the Seaport. The celebration will start at the Ice Rink and include traditional Hanukkah treats, musical entertainment from local artists, and end with the lighting on the Heineken Riverdeck featuring the Seaport’s new 15- foot tall nautical menorah designed by Moully Art.
SUBTLE MESSAGE TO BIKERS
I love when Battery Park City riffs on the city’s hexpavers. These are to tell bikers to stay right as they round the corner at South Cove.
