We admit, we wish we would’ve told you about this sooner, but you still have one last Saturday left to take advantage of a car-free bike ride!   My cousin and hubby (shown on the left) came to visit for the weekend, and what better way to show them around than through a leisurely bike tour?  The street closures will occur from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. this Saturday, August 21st.  The streets to be closed are Centre Street, Lafayette Street, 4th Avenue and Park Avenue.

Alternative route back down:  Instead of going back down the same way, we cut through Central Park on 72nd Street, then headed over to the bike path on the West Side Highway all the way down the Hudson River Park.

Lunch: If you’re a little hungry, I’d recommend the The Boat Basin Cafe on 79th and Riverside Drive for some grub.  To be honest, the food wasn’t anything to ride home about, but the view from their open-air patio overlooking the marina was worth it!
