Down by the riverside.

Don't forget, Manhattan is an island.
So head to the waterfront for spectacular views, great dining, world-class shopping and some of the most beautiful jogging trails in the world. The Esplanade offers block upon block of great river-front views as well as kayaking, sailing, picnicking, dog runs, roller blading, frisbee, outdoor chess, and lots of other sports and activities from hoops to hacky-sack. Enjoy.
