Herd About the Goats in the Park?

The running of the goats in Riverside Park

July 16, 2021

The second running of the goats in Riverside Park took place earlier this week before a packed crowd of onlookers. After a hiatus last year, the insatiable grazers are back to help get rid of invasive plants (right down to the roots) in a particularly hilly section of the park. And in a nod to the important election year for New Yorkers, people can vote through an online ranked-choice system (of course!) for the greatest of all time (GOAT).
