As summer has taken hold in NYC, I’ve been going out into Riverside Park more regularly, as I’ve done for years. I ride my bike, and also walk. To enjoy my outings, and make good use of my time by reading and editing—what can be called “working recreation”—I’ve been looking to buy one of those lightweight low-slung camp chairs I see other folks have. I’m thinking of it more this summer, because of coronavirus, and the fact that having a portable seat I can clean and sanitize myself, that doesn’t leave me dependent on finding a suitable park bench, or a patch of dry grass, is a good thing. I think I may have found just what I want, the ALPS Mountaineering Rendezvous Folding Camp Chair, which weighs only about seven pounds, and breaks down in to a satchel you can sling over the shoulder. Comes in khaki and rust, and not a bad price.
