Good afternoon! Wishing you a happy Friday, August 16th, 2019 from all of us at Viewing NYC!

Here's what the weather looks like in the City right now.

The Perseid Meteor Shower is one of the most popular annual meteor events that we can observe on Earth. This year's shower is now over, taking place on Monday-Tuesday of this week, but you can still see it over New York City if you missed it live. Local pro photographer Scott Segler captured the 2-day event in this great sweeping time lapse video taken on the Upper East Side of Manhattan.

Shane visits Hoffman and Swinburne Islands off the coast of Staten Island to see if he could step foot on new land.
