This past weekend was a sight to see in McCarren Park, Pétanque pandemonium. As all the available courts in Manhattan are now off limits, across the river they come. Washington Square Park is far from being completed as promised and I would estimate not being so until at least Spring 2011. Bryant Park has turned it's self into a Christmas consumer strip-mall, engulfing the courts, so as to cram as many mini boutiques as possible; Christmas comes early in Manhattan....
As the Pétanque season wraps up here in New York, more and more players are being introduced to the benefits and proximity of McCarren Park (one stop on the L train and surrounded by bars). So as long as the weather remains warm, head to North Brooklyn and see some fine free range Pétanque and enjoy a post game beverage.....
