Site of the premier New York City summer streetball league and a mainstay of West Village recreation.
A top spot to play amateur basketball in NYC. It’s also a popular scouting spot, so make sure to bring your A-Game.
If you want to see grit-and-grind street ball, take a peek through the fence at The Cage. The court’s barely half regulation size, but basketball legends such as Dr. J have called it home in the past.
Built over an existing sewerage plant. Tennis cts and campus quality recreation including a gym, aquatic center, and numerous fields and paths. killer views of the GW bridge ideal when needing retreat
It's really nice! The basketball court is big and the rollerskating rink is super cheap 5$ to get in. And the view from here is impeccable. Highly recommend
Head uptown to hit the only outdoor public roller rink in New York City (at least until Prospect Park’s Lakeside rink opens for grapevining in spring 2014). Read more.
Designated as a Historic Harlem landtrust, Jackie Robinson is beloved for its community pool, event-filled recreation center, and famously named baseball fields.
A true uptown, hidden gem
See the sculpture of Jackie Robinson by Inge Hardison. This sculptural bust honors the athlete who in 1947 broke the "color barrier" in Major League Baseball, when he played for the Brooklyn Dodgers.
Free fitness and recreation classes!!
Nice place to relax and enjoy the change of seasons, but go during peak hours. Park is gritty in early morning and after dark.
Make sure to visit the Computer Room!
Visit this National Park site to see a recreation of Teddy Roosevelt's childhood home (the original was demolished in 1916).
The elegant neighborhood of Gramercy Park is home to a historic residence, the birthplace of one of America's most colorful presidents, Theodore Roosevelt. Read more.
History buffs (and fans Night at the Museum) will flip for the reproduction of the 26th president’s childhood home. Hey, they named the teddy bear after this guy! Powered by ParentsConnect.com
The small park’s twin gardens make Rector Park a quiet place to enjoy a book or a lunch with friends, though “active recreation” is discouraged here.
Best lunchtime escape from the Financial District on a nice day.
This park area is nestled between some residence buildings and is very quiet and peaceful. There aren't a lot of cars or people that pass through depending on what time of day you come here
Recreation Bar Lounge at the Lobby serves small plates, cocktails, drinks and breakfast in the morning
Nice drinks, cool atmosphere, definitely going back
Very centric hotel, with great staff. As a bonus, it has a basketball court.
New York City Department of Parks & Recreation is the bestest agency with excellent services,responsible for NYC's public parks and recreational spaces.
Really busy on weekends in the summer. Awesome place to jog, people watch and eat ice cream
I have never worn skinny jeans, but if I did I would wear them here.
A faithful recreation of the original. Charbroiled burgers cook to order. One of the best in the city. Ask for the grilled onions.
Their cottage fries are amazing + cheese burger 😋 with pickles YUM!
Beware when they offer a side of fries its SIX dollars for a tiny bowl! For two people and two tiny bowls not quite worth $12. Good burgers though.
Destination for jaw-dropping, large-format cocktail explosions that serve 8-10 people with recreations of the Sherry Cobbler, Whiskey Smash and Zombies. Photogenic individual swizzles are also on hand
The dark spirited cocktails and the hamburger are excellent!
Cheers to taking a break from all your worries. Order the burger ($17). Comes with white cheddar, a thick slice of pickled red onion & a "special" sauce. Lastly a sweet bun holds it all together. Read more.
Mimi Cheng, recreation Cheng sisters' home recipe chicken & zucchini in a dumpling. Also try: pork dumplings prepared with bok choy and cabbage, as well as a vegetarian kale, mushroom, & egg dumpling. Read more.
Incredible new dumpling place. Get the Mimi chengs pan fried
A great addition to the East Village! The dumplings are simple and delicious. All ingredients are locally sourced and organic. Tip: small space with few seats; come at an odd time.
Transformers pinball = best modern machine in city. Good for beer + recreation post Minca or Black Iron Burger.
lots of fun early in the night- plenty of places to sit, nice staff, $4 beers, games and you can order in food!
This was a go-to during my grad school days at NYU, Ace Bar was always used as the "example" for dodgeball.com & foursquare use cases. It's still the first place I think of when testing new features.
New York has good BBQ. We might not have the open pit. But the recreation is divine. Combined with that New York service and drinks. This place is gigantic , fun and fairly priced. Off the west side!
Had a delicious pulled pork sandwich with MacnCheese and beans. Sat outside in the new park by the Hudson. nice!
Along with Daisy May's, Dinosaur tops the category of Best BBQ in New York. Waits are epic, as are the ribs. Be aware that outside tables are first-come first-served. [Eater 38 Member] Read more.
