At age five I took the training wheels off of my bicycle, a sacred rite of passage into childhood. After about an hour or so of trial and error (which felt more like a lifetime), I was riding a two-wheeler. I beamed. I was ready for the big leagues – the bike trail on Pelham Parkway.
If nothing else, a visitor to Greenwich cannot miss Greenwich Park. This place feels like miles and miles of green grass, lined with great big trees. It’s the perfect shade for a summer picnic. It’s scattered with the shaggiest of dogs enjoying a game of fetch, and young children chauffeured in strollers. The park is best seen at a view that must be earned. The Royal Observatory is a steep walk from the ground level of the park. But once the pilgrimage is completed, the view of the expanse of the park along the Thames, while you’re beside the Prime Meridian, is priceless.
