One of my all time favorite NYC spots. Gorgeous views. Walk around once...or run. Beautiful in fall or spring.
A great running track that runs along the East River. Enter on 81st Street or 71st...
One of the most magical parts of Central Park...you would never know you're in the middle of Manhattan. Wooded area with tons of trails, waterfalls and bird-watching.
A wonderful park on the East River. Home of the Gracie Mansion. GREAT dark parks and a boardwalk along the river.
A MUST SEE-especially at sunset- 1-mile New York City park built on a section of the former elevated freight railroad line; it has been redesigned and planted as an aerial greenway.
With the newly added tables and chairs, grab a coffee and people watch (or tourist watch)...a must do for your 1st time in NYC. You should also see it once at night.
Fantastic park in the middle of the city. Home to the HBO Summer Movie Series (HBO headquarters is across the street btw) and Bryant Park Grill.
A classic Central Park spot....sit on the benches and watch the children with their rented remote controlled sailboats. Or get a view of hawk- Pale Male.
Watch the sunset from this HIDDEN gem...underneath the West Side Hwy. Right on the Hudson Marina...great bar and food!
Instead of trekking over to Liberty Island, take your out of town visitors here to catch a glimpse of the Statue of Liberty from across the Hudson. Also check out the 9/11 globe rescued from site.
Fantastic spot to walk around and get a glimpse of old Manhattan. Great shops/cafes and old boats!
Take a look at the site of the 9/11 tragedy. Always a greta reminder to be thankful for every single day!
