Why ignore uptown? Let's go all the way to the edge of the island! A couple of years ago, I walked all the way from Broadway and 225th St (in Marble Hill) to Battery Park. It was exciting to view all the different neighborhoods that Broadway crosses through and there is some terrific architecture uptown in Washington Heights and Harlem. I would be thrilled to follow the same route again, this time on my bicycle. Rob, why stop at 72nd St? Why ignore uptown? Let’s go all the way to the edge of the island!
