Directions: Since I
start my journeys from 99th Street, we'll head south. To get to the greenway,
you need to go under the Henry Hudson Parkway. Go to 99th and Riverside
Drive (upper level), then down to Riverside Drive (lower level) and into
the park there. (Bikers: Avoid steps by going
to the lower Riverside Drive via 97th and heading uptown once in the park).
At about 100th or 101st (inside the park, so there are no street signs),
head for the path down to the underpass (on the river's side). |

You'll soon come to some tennis courts. There is
a path along the river, but sometimes there are additional ones like this
as well. |

Close-up of a barge, not an uncommon sight. EVERYONE
SHOULD TAKE THE BIKE DETOUR at 91st (the underpass). It takes you
to the Community Garden. |

This scene reminds me of the painting by Georges
Seurat (1859-1891) of people with parasols alongside the Seine, especially
when we have sunbathers and readers with umbrellas. This is next to the
Boat Basin Cafe, which is generally open late April through early October. |

The 79th Street Boat Basin Cafe next to the marina
is idyllic. I once saw Hillary Clinton here. Just leave your bike near
the top step and lock a wheel. |

Dogs are welcome. I like to to feed the birds that join us.

If you take the greenway south, you'll come to a
new pier at about 69th Street. It extends far out into the Hudson River.
Outdoor events are held on the piers. |


Remnants of the past

Hudson River Greenway by the pier, below the West Side Highway
Go back a few blocks and look for the steps that take you to the upper levels of Riverside Park. For the path without steps, continue beyond the steps. You can continue around the island's perimeter if you like, but my photos are not up yet. |
