The Best Westward journey planning in Garden City, New York

Welcome to Ralph Wilson Park, a stunning 100 -acre waterfront park located on the picturesque shoreline of Lake Erie in downtown Buffalo, New York. Rooted in a multi-year community visioning process, Ralph Wilson Park is undergoing a remarkable transformation to become one of the most beautiful and inclusive public spaces in the country. This park is designed to serve both nearby residents and visitors from across the region and beyond. One of the park’s most exciting features is the Ralph Wilson Park Bridge, a marvel of engineering that traveled all the way from Italy to Buffalo. Its journey across the Atlantic Ocean and through the Erie Canal was celebrated by thousands across New York State, culminating in its arrival on July 16—716 Day, a nod to Buffalo's area code. This iconic bridge, transported in four massive sections, is a testament to the collaborative spirit and engineering prowess that define this project.

Welcome to Osage Orange Tree, your local haven for all things inspired by the iconic Maclura pomifera. Nestled in the heart of Manhattan at 347 East 118th Street, our business celebrates the rich history and unique characteristics of the Osage orange tree, a remarkable species native to the south-central United States. At Osage Orange Tree, we embrace the fascinating story of this small deciduous tree, also known by many names including hedge apple, horse apple, and bois d'arc, or "bow-wood." Historically, the Osage orange served as a natural fence for American settlers, providing a thorny barrier that was "horse-high, bull-strong, and pig-tight." Its wood was highly prized by Native American tribes such as the Osage and Comanche for making durable and flexible bows.
