This is an interesting ramble through the Bronx from the Central Park Boathouse via Randall’s Island connector to City Island with return to Manhattan via the High Bridge. The route takes advantage of many greenways through Soundview, Pugsley and Pelham Bay Parks. The loop around the SUNY Maritime Campus beneath the Throg’s Neck Bridge is spectacular.

An easy, flat ride thru Brooklyn neighborhoods to Shirley Chisholm Park. Bring snack food and picnic in the park or on one of its piers. This is a recently renovated park with lovely trails (some paved, some gravel) down to the waterfront and a couple of piers. There are also picnic tables and porta sans in various locations. Check out the map of the park:  https://parks.ny.gov/parks/attachments/ShirleyChisholmShirleyChisholmStateParkMap.pdf.

The route starts at Grant's Tomb at 122nd St and Riverside. Then up Riverside Drive to the GWB, north along Hudson Terrace to East Palisades.  Then, we go west to North Woodland Street, but rather than turning right and going north, we turn left and head south on South Woodland Street. It goes down to Leonia and through Overpeck County Park where the Hackensack River becomes Overpeck Creek.

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.
