PlanYC
2030 sustainability plans for NYC
Tanker
Tours
The tanker is available for school tours and visits by other organized
programs. We will be open to the general public once we have
funding for docent staff. We are working on plans to convert the
ship to a mobile museum.
Community
Sailing
A clunky but established term for affordable sailing
programs—an alternative to privately owning a boat or joining a
yacht club. We are laying the groundwork to launch such a program
in Red Hook’s Valentino Park. We need to hear from interested
parties now!
Kayak
Valet
A special event where we provide valet parking for kayaks in Valentino
Park.
NYC's only such event! 2008 is year three, and we are doing it
twice this year.
Red
Hook Promotion
Red Hook monthly events calendar. We research and produce this
calendar, linked near top of Red
Hook page.
Red
Hook Visitors' Guide We co-produced the first
Red Hook guide for the inauguration of the Red Hook cruise terminal. We
provided the retail database, the photos, and the text. This is a
precursor to our Red Hook Maritime Trail Map + Community Guide, the
content of which we have researched for two years.
Operation
Christmas Cheer
We give out cookies and newspapers to tugs and barges working Christmas
Day.
Flotsam
Project
This youth program, the first in New York City to recycle old pier
remains, is in search of a home. Contact us if you know a free or cheap
700 square foot workshop where we could start a carpentry shop.
Waterside locations preferred.
Volunteers
We could use your help. It's
always fun around PortSide, you learn a lot, and you usually get a great
waterfront location as part of the deal.
