In a few hours I need to ride from 33rd and Lexington down to City Hall Park to meet some friends. This would be my first ride in Manhattan that was more than just 59th St. to 33rd (though all your recommendations have been gold so far!)
By looking at Google Maps (
here) I'm thinking of riding down 2nd Ave to E Houston St. then down Broadway. Is this a good route? Am I looking at One Way streets here or something? I don't even have a map on me!! Ack!
