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.

This is another of Claire and Linda's famous Dumpling rides.  Great anytime, but especially wonderful for those cold winter months where only short rides will do.

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.
