Public Zip-Lining in Foley Square for Two Weekends this August

We warned you it was coming-zip lining has officially hit Foley Square for the next two weekends of August. For the NY DOT's ongoing Summer Streets event, the organization is running a zip line in Foley Square, which is open for public enjoyment. There are other events as well, in celebration of New Yorkers reclaiming their city streets. Numerous streets throughout the City are shut down to cars for the event. DOT Commissioner Janette Sadik-Khan told Metro NY:"The streets are for everyone. It's a great way for New Yorkers to get out and see and enjoy the city in a different way." For the next two weekends only (Aug. 11 & 18), head to Foley Square and get zippin'. -Alissa Fleck
