Battery Park City Esplanade: For The Outdoor Enthusiast

Located on the southernmost edge of Manhattan, this route begins in Battery Park (along the Hudson River Esplanade) where you’ll score glimpses of the Statue of Liberty before rounding the edge of Manhattan and heading up the East River running path. Once along the East River you can gawk your eyes on views of Brooklyn’s waterfront; the Manhattan, Williamsburg, and Brooklyn Bridges; and the South Street Seaport. Arguably the the most beautiful running route in New York City.
