Fodor's Expert Review John V. Lindsay East River Park

This popular green space that runs along the East River is undergoing large-scale renovations as the City of New York, in conjunction with the federal government, work on a project to reduce the risks of flooding from storms and sea level rising. Sections of the park, with its spectacular views of Brooklyn and the Manhattan Bridge will remain open but check the website for changing access points. The NYC Ferry dock, located at Corlears Hook, will also remain accessible.
