Just use google maps...click the "Bicycling" option and all the bike paths show up...The mostly uninterrupted riding is up and down the West Side Greenway/Path if you're going to be Manhattan based... Be sure and head over the Brooklyn Bridge great views, etc.. Getting up to the Bronx and riding the South & North Trailway and the Putnam Trailway is a bit of a commitment though...Nevertheless it's a great long & easy ride and the Croton Reservoir Area is beautiful.
