Two bridges walk across Manhattan |
|
After this excursion, you can say you walked the entirety of Manhattan and back! No need to mention it was the entire WIDTH, not LENGTH. Starting at the Jersey side in Fort Lee Historic Park, we’ll take in the gorgeous views along and across the Hudson (and the small musuem if desired), then cross the River by foot on the George Washington Bridge. A few blocks through the Washington Heights neighborhood will take us to New York’s most picturesque and oldest large bridge – the High Bridge, which was built in the 1840s to carry the Croton Aqueduct over the Harlem River. The Bridge was closed for 40 years before reopening in 2015 for pedestrians only. About 5.5 miles round trip (less that if you taxi/jitney back). If you're very energetic, we can take a short diversion down to something "fat and red and jolly" -- no, not Santa Claus, but the "Little Red Lighthouse" of the famous 1940s children's book. After we return to NJ, we can (optionally) dine at one of the great Korean restaurants in Fort Lee. |
