A mostly flat and car-free 6.4 mile run from Battery Park City to the Boat Basin will take you up the Hudson River Greenway, offering up a spectacular view of the river. Read more

Great place for joggers cyclists and even people who want to just sit back and read a book and enjoy the view. There's also several restaurants along the path as well as kayaking and bicycle rentals.

Enjoy this popular and scenic route on a bike, on roller blades or on your own two feet. You'll enjoy great people watching, nature spotting and gorgeous cityscapes.

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.

Not too many places in NYC where you can get fresh air while you're jogging. This is one of the best.

Gorgeous lookout/scenic spot. Has benches for a more intimate convo. Great for exercise and romantic dates. You can smell the sea water.

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.

Hudson river. New York city's south beach without the beach but an extra ingredient of sewage ;)

If you're walking across the path, bikers will NOT stop for you even though they're supposed to, so look carefully before crossing.

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
