SUMMER SIZZLES WITH BIG APPLE DIVERSIONS ©By Polly Guerin
Life in the Big Apple is FREE as the breeze with sizzling summer diversions some FREE, other worth the price. Go to the West Side for Apollo I, head to Bryant Park for poetry and music, take in book signings. Keep your ‘cool’ and and never get bored. I guarantee it. Here’s the Scoop!!!
“27 Seconds,” at the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum, honors the heroes who died in the Apollo I explosion with a timeline of the different phases of America’s race to the Moon, a video of John F. Kennedy’s race to the moon speech and the role the USS Intrepid played while acting as a space capsule recovery ship. “27 Seconds,” represents the amount of time that passed from when the spark ignited the first to the final voice transmission of the Apollo I crew. Free with price of admission to the museum. Pier 86 (46th St. & 12th Ave.) http://www.intrepidmusuem.org/.
