SSIS NYC and Washington D.C.

Thanks for trusting us with your kids. They were awesome.

Efficient airport, sleep deficient kiddos. See everyone tonight!

Manhattan consists of much more than its residential population and daily workforce. This island, measuring just 22.96 square miles, serves
approximately 4 million people on a typical weekday, 2.9 million on a weekend day, and a weekday night population of 2.05 million.
When you back out tourists, that’s around 1.6 million people, or 78,000 people per square mile.

For reference, Lopez is 29 square miles. So around 69 people per square mile.

Our walkabout around Central Park this morning was a lovely example of an open, restorative space in the middle of that density.

We pulled all all food out of packs and mini fridge and supplemented with two dozen UWS bagels, cream cheese and chopped lox.
