Hudson River Park

Favorite running and biking paths in NYC. Beautiful views of the river and NJ skyline. Plenty of seating along the path. Bring a blanket and picnic in the grass on a sunny day!

One of my fave spots in the city for a stroll. Escape the furnace that is Manhattan through the summer and stroll from TriBeCa up to Chelsea. Kid friendly parks throughout.

This is definitely one of our favorite places to enjoy a scenic (and FLAT) run or bike ride – just pay attention to the separate pedestrian and bike lanes and you’ll be fine.

Hudson River Park is the second largest park in Manhattan after Central Park . It runs from about Battery Park all the way to 59th. Great park to walk around, a mix of both the city and nature
