Top 10 Outdoor Activities in Upper Manhattan (Uptown), New York (NY)
Conquering New York in one visit is impossible. Instead, hit the must-sees – the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty, Central Park, the Metropolitan Museum of Art – and then explore off the beaten path with visits to The Cloisters or one of the city’s libraries. Indulge in the bohemian shops of the West Village or the fine dining of the Upper West Side. The bustling marketplace inside of Grand Central Station gives you a literal taste of the best the city has to offer.

4. Larry's Freewheeling

Reviewed By matt_ny27 - New York City, United States
I live in the area and have been to Larry's at least half a dozen times. They have a great selection of inventory, and even better, Larry or the staff will guide you to what you need (or don't need). My wife has also shopped here and had a really good experience. From kid's helmets, to racks, baskets, fenders, and general adjustments, they have always done a speedy and thorough job on our bikes. They are next door to a great coffee shop called Cafe Amrita, too. It is right at the 110th St B/C subway stop too.
5. East River Waterfront Esplanade
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 15 reviews
Reviewed By bbbob84 - Staten Island, United States
The East River is often overlooked, but it is the home to the Brooklyn Bridge, Manhattan Bridge, Queensboro Bridge, Williamsburg Bridge, The Roosevelt Island Tram, numerous foot bridges and The East River Waterfront Esplanade. Even though it runs adjacent to the FDR Drive you can see and enjoy the East River and the many sights across the waterway. A great place to get in your steps and keep healthy while living in The Big City!

7. TD Five Boro Bike Tour
Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 27 reviews
There is no place on Earth quite like New York City, and there is no better way to experience it than by bike. This explains why, on the first Sunday of every May, 32,000 cyclists of all skill levels come from around the world to roll through every borough of New York City on 40 miles of streets totally free of cars. For one day, the roads, the bridges, and the City itself belongs to cyclists. Simply put, there’s no better way to experience the Big Apple, which explains why, over more than 40 years, it’s become a bucket- list pilgrimage for some and an annual tradition for others. The diversity, culture, architecture, and scenery of the many neighborhoods that riders get to explore are on display, from Manhattan icons like Radio City Music Hall and Central Park to outer-borough gems like the Queensboro and Brooklyn Bridges, while bands, rest areas, enthusiastic cheering teams, and helpful volunteers keep everybody’s energy up.
