Summer Streets to Return for 2009

For three Saturdays in August, The City of New York will be closing down a 6.9 mile stretch of Manhattan streets to allow them to be used for recreational purposes.  The route will connect the Brooklyn Bridge to Central Park.  The program takes place on August 8th, 15th, and 22nd from 7:00am until 1:00pm.

    Me too. I did a nice 10 miler on Park Ave last year during Summer Streets. It was a nice change of scenery from my usual routes.
