One of my favorite nice day activities in NY is a walk across the historic Brooklyn bridge to the tiny neighbourhood under the bridge. From City Hall in lower Manhattan you can stroll, skate or bike across the wood-planked pedestrian walkway in the middle of the bridge. It's longer and steeper than it looks, but the beautiful views of the East river and NY Harbor are worth it. At the end, reward yourself with Grimaldi's pizza (NY's best) and a creamy Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory cone on the pier. Take the cute water taxi back if you are too full to walk!
