So happy I got those disc breaks...
I guess the world is flat after all
Okay, now I can't feel my legs

Overview

In addition to being the most famous grocery chain in New York, two of the three NYC branches of Fairway Market reside at beautiful waterfront locations.
We’ll start the ride under the George Washington Bridge, just a couple of miles north of Fairway Harlem.
Then we’ll cycle through almost all of Manhattan’s west-side waterfront greenway, enjoy the stunning views from the Brooklyn Bridge and hop through Brooklyn’s tranquil neighborhoods until we reach our final destination – Fairway Red Hook.

Starting and ending points

Although the ride officially starts at the George Washington Bridge and ends at Red Hook in Brooklyn, you can join the route anywhere along the way.
Just hit the west waterfront greenway at any point in Manhattan or join the route in Brooklyn.
Both directions (northbound and southbound) are shown on the map.
