Part of Claire and Linda's famous Dumpling Rides series, this route takes you though Queens neighborhoods, various parks, on bike paths & protected bike lanes, with a stop at the Kissena Velodrome. Lunch on dumplings at Galaxy Dumpling in Flushing. Great winter ride, as there are numerous subway bails if your tootsies start to freeze.

Ride thru Brooklyn neighborhoods on quiet streets, then tour thru southern Queens shoreline neighborhoods (how many marinas can you count?). Cross the bridge thru the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge to the Rockaways for a yummy dumpling lunch at Uma's.  Return across the Marine Pkwy Bridge to Prospect Park for the #2 or 3 train home. There are other bailouts (including the ferry from the Rockaways) if you've eaten too many dumplings at lunch.

Ride starts and ends at the Statue of Eleanor Roosevelt at Riverside Drive & W. 72nd St. Although it uses several greenways and bike paths, it is not a flat ride and there are a couple of short, steep hills. But don't let that intimidate you. It's a lovely route through parts of New York City you don't normally ride through. Lunch is at Johnny's Wharf at the end of City Island. Ice cream can be had on the way out of town at Lickety-Split.

Walter's is a 100 yr. old landmark roadside pagoda between Larchmont and Mamaroneck. They basically sell hot dogs and thick milk shakes. Yeah, you can get curly fries or an ice cream cone or a float, but you're there for the dogs (secret family blend of beef, pork & veal) and shakes (homemade ice cream). You eat at picnic tables outside in the shade - plenty of room for the bikes, and don't worry about locking them up. But try to get there by 11:30; by Noon the line is 30 deep.
