My daughter and I followed clever clues (with the exact right level of difficulty) around FiDi and South Street Seaport areas of Manhattan. It was challenging, fun and inf...

Hudson River Walkway (North Bergen)
Tourist attraction
👍👍 A well maintained, safe, and quiet walkway that offer awe-inspiring views of the New York City skyline. It’s free therapy going here. The walkway is clean and free of obstructions. I love going for evening runs here and can even reach Jersey City effortlessly.

Museum

Hunter's Point South Park Playground
Playground
👍👍 This playground is not big, yet probably the only one in NYC that has skyline view AND cherry blossom when in season.
