Lonely Planet review

This massive waterfront sports center caters to the athlete in everyone. You can hit golf balls at the four-level driving range, ice skate in the complex's indoor rink or rent in-line skates to cruise down to Battery Park along the new Hudson Park waterfront bike path. There's a jazzy bowling alley, Hoop City for basketball, a sailing school for kids, batting cages, a huge gym facility with an indoor pool, indoor rock-climbing walls - the works.

Kayaks are loaned out free at the Downtown Boathouse just north of Pier 64. There's even waterfront dining and drinking at the Chelsea Brewing Company , which serves great pub fare and delicious home brews. Though the Piers are somewhat cut off by the busy West Side Hwy, the wide array of attractions here brings in the crowds; the M23 crosstown bus, which goes right to its main entrance, saves you the long, four-avenue trek from the subway.
