Fort Tilden Positioned on Rockaway Peninsula, Fort Tilden—part of Gateway National Recreation Area—offers a mixture of decommissioned military structures and reclaimed natural areas, including some of the most beautiful beaches (un-lifeguarded) in New York that are perfect for walking or fishing. Tours and other ranger-led programs highlight many great spots to see wildlife in the maritime forest, along the Atlantic shore, and near the fort's freshwater pond. The observatory deck on top of Battery Harris East, a historic gun site, offers dramatic 360-degree panoramic views of Jamaica Bay and New York Harbor, and is a great vantage point from which to spot migrating birds. Listen to stories about hawking in Fort Tilden and other national park sites around Jamaica Bay from national park ranger and naturalist Dave Taft. Problems using the player?

Russ and Daughters Joe's Pizza | The Greenwich Village Institution Dave's New York: Workwear, Outerwear, Footwear and Military clothing Greenmarket Farmers Markets Greenmarket was founded in 1976 with a two-fold mission: to promote regional agriculture by providing small family farms the opportunity to sell their locally grown products directly to consumers, and to ensure that all New Yorkers have access to the freshest, most nutritious locally grown food the region has to offer. What began over three decades ago with 12 farmers in a parking lot on 59th Street and 2nd Avenue in Manhattan has now grown to become the largest and most diverse outdoor urban farmers market network in the country, now with 54 markets, over 230 family farms and fishermen participating, and over 30,000 acres of farmland protected from development.

Welcome — Bedford Cheese Shop Where the waiters eat in New York City | Travel After a long, hard shift New York City's waiters like to eat, drink, and be merry like everybody else. But Gotham's servers aren't going to eat just anywhere. Because they work in some of the world's most famous and expensive restaurants, they develop discriminating foie gras tastes that, sadly, they're unable to afford on their liverwurst budgets. Therefore, when they go out after work, Big Apple waiters patronise establishments that offer excellent food, good service, and outstanding value for their hard-earned dollar. If you're visiting NYC from the UK and want to avoid the multitude of culinary tourist traps trying to suck those devaluing British pounds out of your wallet, your best bet is to ask a server where to eat.
