The 'September in Staten Island' continues by covering the east shore of the island, hitting St. George, Clifton and Shore Acres before walking the length of South Beach. A thorough walk of Great Kills Park gives way to a tour of Historic Richmond town and further ramblings about Latourette Park. The route meanders through Old Town and Emerson Hill on the way back to our concluding destination.
The first walk in our 'September in Staten Island' sticks mainly to the west, covering the shoreline up to Mariners Marsh Park before cutting through Arlington on the way to Travis-Chelsea. We take the turn at the Staten Island boat graveyard and head up through the middle of the borough, cutting through Latourette, Clove Lakes, and Silver Lake Park along the way.
Our final survey walk of Manhattan covers the upper quarter of the island, starting at 110th street and snaking its way through Harlem, Washington Heights and right to the tip of Inwood. Long walks on Broadway and Amsterdam Avenue lengthen out the walk, while a trek down Highbridge Park and the Harlem River Drive completes the day.
Our Downtown walk takes us on a wild path through lower Manhattan in a quest to reach our allotted 26.2 miles daily. Going no higher than 26th Street, we rub up against every neighborhood and site to see imaginable, including the skyscrapers and antiquity of the Financial District; the food and culture of Little Italy/Chinatown; passing views of the three lower bridges; walks through both Villages and so much more.
