Spending a long time in the city can sometime make you feel claustrophobic, which is how I started to feel after only a week in the city. However approximately 10-15 away from mid-town manhattan, you will find the Hudson River, it is amazing and such a welcoming view after spending so much time surrounded by buildings. Here you will find a lot of runners, running is such a big thing in New York City, it amazes how so many people can manage to run or do any form of exercise in this heat. When I first arrived in NYC I literally only managed to walk a few blocks before feeling over heated and sweaty.
