A few blocks from Columbia's new Manhattanville, at the heart of all services and shopping on Broadway, at the very pulse of a trendy new restaurant at every season (ROKC for Ramen, best oysters and cocktails; Pulled Noodles' The Grange with its Jazz brunches; Chipped Cup café; Bono Trattoria; Hogshead Tavern; $2 Everything is the best breakfast in town; Sweet Chef pastry shop for the real sweet-potato pie), Fairway Market on 132nd, and to make the dream practical too, transportation only a block away takes you Midtown within 15 Minutes. Steps away are a children's playground and Riverbank State Park with its double-Olympic swimming pool for $2 entry fee!, tennis and basketball courts, ice skating rink, running track and picnic areas.
Across your windows, the Hudson River Greenway is the perfect JOG, skate or bike stroll onto the romantic, uninterrupted 11 miles of stunning paths from Battery Park to the Little Red Lighthouse underneath the George Washington Bridge; enjoy newly designed piers, restaurants, and the healthiest green New Yorkers!
