Fort Tryon Park and the Cloisters are one of the neighborhood’s gems. The scenic park offers panoramic views of the Hudson River and The Palisades in neighboring New Jersey. Even though Fort Tryon is a short train ride away from Midtown, the serene atmosphere to be found here will make you forget you were ever in the city at all. Go for a run or a walk along the park’s winding trails and enjoy a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of Manhattan.
