See all- Cherry Trees! (Walk and Talk, Meet in Manhattan)Roosevelt Island Tramway, New York, NY
It's peak Cherry Blossom viewing season in NYC! Back by popular demand, let's stroll through some of the best cherry viewing spots. I think our itinerary will start at Roosevelt Island and then we'll walk to Central Park and cruise the west side of the reservoir. Then we can stop for a snack and a drink in the UWS.
Location may be flexible based on where the best blooms are on April 6. You can monitor cherry progress at several websites:
