Yes, sibling revelry. A bad pun, but a great class this past Sunday up in Hudson Heights. This class had three sets of older sister younger brother duos. All of these families live in Hudson Heights, in the same building or close by. It is a beautiful neighborhood.
Now, even those of you who live here in New York, you might not have heard of Hudson Heights. In fact, one friend even claimed that I really went to a made-up neighborhood and that I was just in a fancy part of Washington Heights… well. Hudson Heights, according to Wikipedia, is a “sub-neighborhood of Washington Heights“. So I guess he might have been a little bit right. Hudson Heights is home to the Cloisters and Fort Washington Park. It also has the most gorgeous view right at the entrance to the 190th St. station on the A train.
