Herman, Thank you for you comments. I spent 3 hours walking along the Hudson River from Washington Square Park to Greenwich Village, then along a special bike & walking path parallel to the river which goes north for several miles. Never knew it existed. Massive renovation, park after park in between the shipyards. I think they kept it a secret from those of us who live on the Eastside. I shall return when it gets warmer. Best regards, Lilia
