It is a city in and on the water, probably one of the most water friendly cities on earth. It should be a waterfront paradise, and with many of the new parks being built and planned, combined with the city's beaches, you could say the waterfront is the city's best asset. It's time it was given back to the public.


Agree completely. This, The Hudson River park, Four Freedoms Park, Brooklyn waterfront... It took a couple hundred years but this city is finally starting to embrace its edges, to its own immense benefit. It is a much better place to live for these riverfront developments compared to ten years ago. And I can only imagine how great it will be in another ten.
