New York travel guide

Central Park is huge. Its 60 blocks long and 4 avenues wide so it takes a lot of time to walk through it and don’t miss any spot of this great oasis in the middle of the skyscrapers jungle.

So, go to the Boathouse at the lake (77th street metro stop is the closest) and rent a bike. DO NOT rent them from the people outside the park. It’d cost you like 9$ and hour (45$ the whole day). Then ride to the Diary to get a map and you’re good to go!

Awesome place to rent a bike
One of the cheapest places in the city to rent bikes ($7/hour, or $35/day) and close to the Central Park.The people that work there are cool and super knowledgeable.Bikes are generally well maintained.Bike Rental comes with free helmets and the cycling map. The location, cost, and service nice. I'd happily rent here again.
They offer 55 Off when you make a online reservation.

This green area in the south end of Manhattan is a great place to take a rest enjoying the harbour views. You can also enjoy open-air concerts or visit several memorials or the Castle Clinton National Memorial.

The most interesting thing is the ferries. You can take the free Staten Island Ferry, which I recommend, and the Ellis Island Ferry (the one that takes you to the Liberty Statue too).

it's a very low key bar with a great ambiance and excellent music
the food is great
