If you are looking for something different to do in Harlem on your days off, check out the River Art on the Hudson River along the path.

Here are just a few of some of the many works starting from West 130th Street down to West 68th Street including new pieces that were not there last summer.

The bike path and new park areas and piers all along the Hudson River have been  built up with landscape, sitting areas and sculptures for the city and tourists to enjoy.  I can remember 10 years ago when nothing was developed along the river.  It was still nice to bike or jog along but now it is beautiful, very scenic and on the weekends it gets more and more crowded.  As nice if not nicer than Chicago’s, Millennium Park and Austin’s, Zilker Park.
