Not everybody knows that year after year New York becomes more and more friendly to its inhabitants and tourists. With each stay here we discover new investments which change this city into a metropolis where people do not only work but also relax and breath fresh air!
Along Broadway and on Times Square the car traffic has been limited, a green lane has been separated for tables and chairs where everybody can sit without paying for anything.
Great avenues and streets are decorated with bushes and flower beds. One can sit wherevere it is possible: on benches, stairs and low granite walls where people eat their lunches and relax.
There are more and more bicycle paths and along the Hudson River (ca 10 km), where sometime ago were harbour warehouses, a green belt was built for cyclists and strollers.
And now the latest idea of the New York town planners: an old, useless railways viaduct, running above a dozen streets, has been trasformed into a walking paths. This is a real postindustrial hit in this city.
