Since (2) yoga studios have closed over the past year, this may offer one of the few meditative respites uptown. Hidden from most of the avenue chaos. The space is flexible for most uses. Kind staff.
You won't find a swarm of map carriers like downtown, in this park. Come for solitude and peace. The occasional festival makes it's presence in summer months. Perfect for sky gazing and blade blazing.
Walk in the middle and city life is worlds away. Ponds, Trees, birds, squirrels, and we didn't even get to the zoo. A race around the park is great but not recommended at night. The perfect escape.
With seperated space you'll have to figure if your canine is of handbag or cage status. The run draws those who are politically active and name drop at the spot of a dime. Well maintained by the park.
Straddling Central Park, Columbia, & Central Harlem lies the perfect escape from other overrun parks nearby. Well maintained with a waterfall and duck pond with turtles & geese. Crowded on holidays.
They call it yoga, but it's really a hot sauna work out. The moves don't quite flow but the devotees trying to gain flexibility and a cleanse will swear by it. Bring 2 towels, a mat and H2O or pay up.
Be sure to check out the relocated Hamilton Mansion or you've missed the main attraction. Great views from above. Night hours have some undesirables. Day offers lots of sun. There is FINALLY a dogrun
Ferry service would benefit here , it's anyone's guess when that will happen. Stroll along here to make you forget the rent your paying to live near. Great for impromptu picnics. Watch the bike path!
Is this still in New York? Those hills and green spaces will have you asking repeatedly. Great for kids and dogs. Team sports have their designated spaces so roam. The nabe youth may pounce w/o notice
Got a date? Bring them here and you will earn another, as their romantic paths will surely seduce. The architecture is astounding and the view of the Palisades and the bridge alone is worth the visit.
This is fitness priced for the new millennium economy. Locals sweat here for the affordability and access. With 2 locations just minutes of each other. No amenities but rock bottom prices. Very busy!
This gym preceded Planet Fitness, and the soon to come Blink, by some years. It constantly breaks sales and volume records and shows how busy peak times can get. The steam room has it's own stories.
Who hasn't read that kids book but this writer! Located in an obscure area that requires tenacity and skill for access. The view is noteworthy. Avoid oncoming storms. Pm hours are at your own peril.
Built over an existing sewerage plant. Tennis cts and campus quality recreation including a gym, aquatic center, and numerous fields and paths. killer views of the GW bridge ideal when needing retreat
This is our top rated garden, (and park for that matter) above 96th street. It's clear lots of Upper East attention showered here. The gardens resemble English estates. The urban traffic is a bit much
This is how a gym should look. The staff, the equipment, and prices are "beeyute". An upgrade from the Planet Fitness infiltration. While the space is not at capacity, expect more machines. Stylish
It is anyone's guess when this local tour company is in operation. The location sits on the cusp of take the money and run and run honey. There are gifts and books of the pro-Malcolm type. Odd hours.
An upgrade of residents has meant newfound wealth has found it's way to this park. Why there is STILL no dog run is anyone's guess.A dramatic improvement from years prior. Keep alert during the eve hr
The new amphitheater is world class and earns more summer bookings daily. Cast iron bell on the hill could sure use the same attention. Dog runs are separated for mini and maxi pups. Sat food market!
The holidays mean that this park is overrun with families in need of urban respite. While the space is well laid out, it's volume is too heavy for it's size. Barbecue grill central!!! Cool sculptures.
This deluxe full body workout space is no sweatshop. With 15 punching bags, mixed martial arts, body climbers, and manual treadmills, one does not come here to look pretty. The celeb types will love!
If the trainer is stacked then you know you are in for a workout. Clearly, big things can come in small packages. Biking, floorballs, and the like. No weights. You won t need them. Full body workout!
These folks are not based in Harlem, but they seem to attract those Francophiles in need of the church service experience. While you'll need to make a climb to reach that 2nd level gift shop it' fab!
Known for creating tours that run the gamut, from music to food, they also produce a travel guide that is quite notable. It could use an update. Most of their action takes place on line these days.
An event and marketing company that promotes activities within Greater Harlem, they are best known for the take away pocket guides that are in kiosks on the streets. Best known for collaborations
No it's NOT open yet, but it is being built and with the proliferation of the skaters that are infiltrating these parts it's a good thing. This will be one of (3) located in Manhattan. stay tuned!
Walk in w/ flip flops and you will STILL feel compelled to dance! The vibe is old school NYC w/o the attitude. Sexy sounds and vicious vibes will have you groovin'. Vendors sell food. Bring a blankie.
Here for tennis lessons? Gallery opening? Exhibition? Arcitectural tour? Well you wont' be disappointed by the numerous options that are rotating constantly on the calendar. Many youth programs.
