Though known for its skyscrapers, New York’s green spaces are pretty spectacular. Even if you’ve picnicked in Central Park or gone jogging in Prospect Park, there’s always a new corner to explore. Check out the High Line or take a tour of Van Cortlandt Park. You really can’t go wrong with any of the nature escapes the city has to offer.
