The NYC Walking Show visited Roosevelt Island to visit our Cherry Blossoms.

Come along for the walk.

And from Tuesday April 6.

UPDATE 4/12: Yesterday, I asked Roosevelt Island Public Safety Chief Kevin Brown:

I’m told more than a dozen NYPD officers, and PSD officers, had to respond to large crowds at the West promenade near Cornell and Southpoint park viewing the Cherry Blossoms last night.

Is that true?

Were there any disturbances?

Any arrests?

RIOC Public Information Officer Amy Smith replied:

The beautiful day on Saturday drew crowds to the promenades to view our vibrant cherry blossoms that are in peak bloom in some areas of the island. Despite the plethora of revelers, PSD, in conjunction with the 114th Precinct, noted that it was a peaceful day enjoyed by residents and visitors alike.
