Lonely Planet review

A great place to stroll, bike, run or simply gaze at the sun as it sets over the Hudson River, this skinny, lively greenspace is lined with cherry trees that blossom into puffs of pink in the spring. The park features an inspiring statue of Eleanor Roosevelt at its south entrance and a flower garden at about 94th St - a riot of colour in balmy months.

The 79th Street Boat Basin is a fine spot from which to watch the sunset while sipping a margarita from the adjoining bar/restaurant.
