This is the oldest bike path in the US. Runs along Ocean Blvd in Brooklyn and takes you to Coney Island
|

Coney Island
|

On the boardwalk
|

Was lucky in that I got there a little before 9. Bikes are only allowed from 5am - 10am
|

Pictures for Aunt Lu, who came to Coney Island in 1952
|

Took a lot to see if anything looked familiar to her
|

It was still closed so this was all fenced in
|

Kind of a crazy-looking ride
|

The new pier which was built after Hurricane Sandy destroyed the old one
|

Most of the park from the pier
|

Biking back to my hotel on a path that goes around Brooklyn. Verrazano Narrows bridge in the distance
|

That bridge looks almost flat. When biking, it feels like a very steep hill. Was much happier biking under it than on it.
|

Books by the elevator in my hotel. "Party of One" is a favorite that I once got at a book sale for a quarter.
|

My pal Shadla walking across the Brooklyn Bridge with me
|

Back in Manhattan, biking up the west side to get to Columbia
|

Looking at New Jersey
|

Columbia University
|

Relaxing on a swing in Central Park
|

Walking around Washington Square with Shadla
|

Finally found a decent place for my celebratory cupcake! Molly's Cupcakes in the Village.
|

Walking the High Line with Shadla and Garin
|

Taking a break on the High Line
|

Love these chairs
|

Looking over Manhattan from the new Whitney
|

The Whitney Building is pretty cool
|

|

Great location
|

|

Decided I much prefer sculpture to paintings
|

Steel is always cool
