Filmed in October 2020/ The route started at Battery Park and ended at East 72nd. Although the East River Greenway aka FDR Drive bike path is quieter, you can see the skyscrapers of downtown Manhattan, Brooklyn Bridge, Manhattan Bridge, and Williamsburg Bridge. We recommend you take a bike ride along the East River Greenway.

The East River Greenway is approximately 9.44 miles long and is parallel to the Frankly D. Roosevelt East River Drive for most of the path. The path connects with the Hudson River Greenway at the bottom of Manhattan. There are some great views of the Brooklyn Bridge, Manhattan Bridge, waterfront, FDR drive, United Nations, and the East River. The path is not as developed as the Westside in terms of pavement and accessibility. The views are still worth it despite the pavement being a little bit rougher here and there. Be aware of the construction, narrow paths, and possible renovation closures.
Can you run along the East River Greenway?
Yes. You can walk, run, or bike.
Can you bike all around Manhattan?
Yes. You can use the Manhattan Waterfront Greenway but will have to go inland to the streets at certain parts on the east side.
