This walking and biking path winds from lower Manhattan to Hell’s Kitchen. Stop for beautiful views of -- and beneath -- the George Washington Bridge along the way.

Beautiful path, but do watch out for cyclists and runners with headphones in and very little awareness. A bit bumpy near the intrepid.

Best way to walk north to the Javits center. Great views of the water especially as the sun sets.

If slow cyclists and rollerbladers would just stay to the right so other bikers could follow the rules and pass left and pedestrians would not walk in the bike path but the people we'd all get along
