Pier 15 – Downtown NYC

Pier 15 is just South of the famous South St Seaport in downtown Manhattan.

Street Side Entrance

With the Winter weather over, Pier 15 is a great place to soak up the Vitamin D on a lunch break for those near Wall St.

Pier 15 is a two level structure, and they’ve applied to serve drinks here during Summer.

Stairs up to the Rooftop Lawns

From the upper level, you can see the Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Williamsburg Bridges.

SHoP did a great job here.

From Pier 15, as well as most of the Southern portion of the East River, you can see the helipad and Governors Island.

The design (including furniture) is mostly well done.

Pier 15 has a great, open air dynamic that allows many people to use the space at the same time.

With Winter behind us, this park will continue to get more and more attractive to the public.

AHA Wall Street Run 3M 2011

Ran the 2011 Wall St 3M today.

This is my first NYRR event and it was well organized.

Issued T-Shirts & D-Tag

D-Tags are a nice way to track your time.

Starting Area - Greenwich Street

The wait for the race to start took longer than the actual race. Everyone assumed the worst – that it would rain at the 6:45p race start.

Post Finish Line - Apple Giveaway

If there’s one thing I learned, it’s that eating cold apples after running rocks.

Post Finish Line - Water Cups

After the finish line, there was water, pretzels, and apples. Also booths with free branded merch.

Post Finish Line - World Financial Center Plaza
