"A great place to walk, jog, and tan!"

You may not think of going all the way to the East River or near a major highway for a relaxing day, but FDR Drive has a great walking area and park so you can exercise and get a great tan in the summer. Jog by the water and watch the boats or go with friends and have a picnic in a scenic location that is mostly free of tourists.

"FDR would be proud of his namesake!"

I am simply shocked that no one has yet reviewed one of the most famous and important streets in Manhattan! The FDR drive is a highway that runs up and down most of the east side of Manhattan island. The road is very dangerous to drive on as it snakes around blind turns, passed smeemingly invisible on and off ramps, and even under a hospital! The other drivers on the road a easily described as maniacs,but, with some patience, you can easily get from the top of Manhattan to the bottom in about 15 minutes (barring traffic). The road provides easy access to Harlem, downtown, Greenwich Village, the Staten Island ferry, and the Brookly Bridge.
