Astonishing. On a humid rainy night on the Upper West Side this summer, Phillipe Petite reprised a version of his highwire walk between the Twin Towers precisely 50 years earlier. With musician Sting below him in this massive cathedral of St. John the Devine, how else would you describe this uniquely New York show to the other 1,500 guests?
