Getting Around Is Easy and Fun

Discover Manhattan from Its Waterfront

Did you forget that Manhattan is an island? It’s time to spend a day soaking in all the delights its waterfront has to offer. This adventure gives you the best of both worlds—land and water. Instead of enduring sweltering subway tunnels, crowded sidewalks, and noisy streets, you can explore at your own pace and truly see the city. Feel the breeze on your face as you embrace the freedom of two wheels.

You’ll travel past landmarks and green spaces rarely noticed by hurried commuters. Whether you’re a seasoned New Yorker or a first-time visitor, this route offers a refreshing way to connect with the city in an authentic, scenic, and sustainable way.

Bike the Hudson River Park

Watch sailboats and kayakers drift by as you ride along the spacious, stress-free bike paths of Hudson River Park. Meanwhile, the route is lined with flowers, trees, and playgrounds, so it creates a peaceful escape from the city’s hustle. Say goodbye to car horns and exhaust fumes, because this path is built for cyclists who want a safe, beautiful journey.

Also, riders receive a colorful map with suggested itineraries to help plan a memorable day of biking and sightseeing. From family-friendly loops to longer adventures, there’s truly something for everyone. As you ride, you’ll also discover quiet pockets of the West Side, hidden gardens, and spectacular river views that make you want to linger.

Enjoy car-free biking with waterfront views along Hudson River Park.

Cross the Iconic Brooklyn Bridge

From Hudson River Park, pedal downtown past City Hall and cross the iconic Brooklyn Bridge. The bridge’s elevated bike path offers jaw-dropping views of Manhattan’s skyline, the East River, and the Statue of Liberty in the distance. It’s a rite of passage for cyclists in New York and a must-see experience for visitors.

Pause at the bridge’s midpoint to snap photos and admire the historic stone towers and cables. You’ll share the path with other cyclists and pedestrians, so take your time and enjoy the ride. It’s a unique blend of old-world charm and modern vibrancy that defines the city.

Explore Brooklyn and Cool Off

End your biking excursion at Fulton Landing. For this is where you can also treat yourself to a scoop at the Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory. After all, this charming spot most definitely offers classic flavors in a historic waterfront building. That’s because it’s the perfect place to rest and recharge while you take in the view.

As you savor your cone, watch ferries, sailboats, and city life bustle around the harbor. From there, stroll over to Brooklyn Bridge Park. This beautifully landscaped green space features lawns, playgrounds, and piers with stunning views back to Manhattan. So, it’s an ideal spot to stretch out, take photos, or simply soak in the scene before your final ride of the day.

Return to Manhattan by Water Taxi

Cap off your day with a breezy cruise from Fulton Ferry Landing back to Manhattan aboard the iconic New York Water Taxi. Sit on the open deck, and then watch the skyline glide by as you wave at Lady Liberty. The boat’s gentle movement offers a calming break after your ride, so you can truly relax.

You’ll see the city from a waterfront vantage point that transforms familiar buildings into breathtaking monuments. As you lean back, you’ll also notice details you missed on land. It’s the perfect finish to your day. That’s because it’s a blend of exercise, sightseeing, and relaxation. Now this is the way the island was meant to be explored.
