EXPLORE MANHATTAN & DUMBO BY BIKE WITH JACQUELINE GOOSSENS |
|
Join noted Belgian journalist Jacqueline Goossens on this special bicycle tour!
Beginning at the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum at Twelfth Avenue at 46th Street, this tour group, limited to ten bicyclists, will travel south along the Hudson River, through the Chelsea Piers – viewing the Golf Driving Ranges, located along the Hudson River.
The tour will include a brief visit the Chelsea Market and perhaps a stop for a brief walk along the High Line at Gansevoort Street. From there, the tour will follow the bike lane through the West Village to Tribeca and then jog over to the Hudson River via Battery Park City.
If time and the group’s inclination are in accord, there may be a short visit to the Winter Garden for an overview of the World Trade Center site.
From there, the group will bike further southward to Battery Park - where Jacqueline will point out a few landmarks with Belgian connections. Heading north, the group will proceed to Wall Street and the South Street Seaport with great views of three great bridges as well as the Brooklyn waterfront.
If the group is up to it, the tour will cross the Brooklyn Bridge, to bike through DUMBO and Vinegar Hill with a return over the Manhattan Bridge. En route, the group will stop for lunch or a snack, based on the group’s desires.
You may consider bringing a snack or beverage.
There is no tour fee, but bicycle rental is not included.
Remember to bring a credit card for a deposit, if you will be renting a bicycle.
Tour is limited to ten people by advance reservation only – first reserved, first accommodated.
