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.

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.

Part of Claire and Linda's famous Dumpling Rides series, this takes an interesting route thru Bronx neighborhoods and parks, with a lunch stop in the Bronx version of Little Italy. After all, what are ravioli, tortellini and gnocchi if not dumplings by another name! Route officially ends at a subway (either the D train or the #4) shortly after lunch, figuring you'll be too stuffed to want to ride all the way home. But go ahead...knock yourself out...create your own route home for an extra 10-15 miles.
