This is a 30 mile ride that starts at QueensBoro Bridge (or the Ed Koch, if you must) and explores beautiful Queens waterfront.  Hate riding around LaGuardia airport to get to Flushing Bay Promenade?  This route takes you through scenic Jackson Heights on a bike lane.  No more Ditmars Boulevard and dodging cars coming out of LaGuardia.  We ride all the way through Flushing Meadows/Corona Park and through Forest Hills Gardens to look at spectacular homes.  We cruise through Forest Park.

Just as Eskimos have several dozen words for snow, New Yorkers, who live in a crazy quilt of ethnic enclaves, have almost as many words for dumplings: Dim sum; gyoza; kibbeh; wonton; varenyky, pierogi, shumai—hey, ravioli are dumplings, as are gnocchi.  And investigating the cultural variety of dumplings by bicycle is easy.
