More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The Hudson River opens up like a wide, moving stage as you push off from the rental shop — the river daring you to trade sidewalks for cycle lanes. Bikes hum along the green ribbon of Hudson River Park, ferrying you past piers, skyline edges and river traffic that seems to tug the city’s pace outward toward the water.
