The first phase of improving the East River Waterfront Esplanade was a 2-mile-long, City-owned public open space extending from the Battery Maritime Building to Montgomery Street.
Lovely spot to people watch & have a scenic view of the Brooklyn Bridge . It’s also a great place to go running along the East River .
Nice views across the river and lots of good photo ops of the Brooklyn Bridge . Bike lane is separated from the pedestrian path, so stay the heck out of it unless you're on a bike , please...
My favorite view in all of manhattan and beyond. Very romantic in the evenings and never overcrowded. Still a pretty well kept secret and hidden gem .
Great for a walk on a sunny day! Make sure to check out the elevated park for views of the city
perfect for a lunchtime stroll. great views and seating arrangements for every lighting condition
Pack a lunchbox and watch the boats pass by during the afternoon on a sunny day. Idyllic.
What a great spot to have lunch on a nice day or to just ponder on life????
