Peter Jay Sharp Boathouse at Swindler Park on the Harlem River (Visit this link)

A Robert Stern-designed floating barge opened on the Harlem River to bring the wonderfully demanding sport of rowing to Manhattan. This stellar New York Restoration Project is now an active boathouse for local schoolchildren and is home to the New York Rowing Association.

Fancy on the Cheap

If you are itching to try some of the city's fine dining, but are decidedly non-itching to pay fine dining prices, stop by for lunch instead of dinner. Many restaurants crammed for dinner will serve the same food to a nearly empty room at lunchtime. Prices are often more reasonable; for instance, Jean Georges, the well-starred restaurant right off Columbus Circle (at 1 Central Park West), has a lunch menu that features any two entrees for only $24. Afterwards, take a walk through the park and splurge on a ridiculously overpriced $4 ice cream from a cart.
