Who?  Have a beautiful day to spare? Love to be outdoors? Love to walk and take in the surroundings? Ready for adventure?

What?   Circumnavigating Manhattan island should be on your MUST-DO experiences.

How?  Grab a healthy breakfast, don a good pair of walking shoes, organize some good tunes, get someone you love to spend time with and head to Battery Park to start your 32 mile walk along the Manhattan Waterfront Greenway.  Depending on your speed, how many stops you take to refuel or simply take in the views or relax, the walk can take you from 8-10 hours.

Why?  At the end of the day, you will feel exhilarated and triumphant for experiencing NYC in a way that only a small fraction of people have.
