Best Nature and Parks (RV, National, Dog, etc) in Edison

"Once you’ve crossed, take a seat somewhere in Brooklyn Bridge Park and watch the sun go down for an epic sunset and stunning views of Downtown Manhattan. For dinner, the world is your oyster – this is New York, after all, one of the best places to eat in the world. If you didn’t have pizza earlier, I recommend Juliana’s – the pizza is even better than next-door Grimaldi’s (in fact, it was voted the best pizzeria in the entire U.S. in 2015 on TripAdvisor) but it’s not often in the guidebooks so there’s usually no line. If you do this, be sure to save room for dessert at the delicious Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory just down the street."

"It might be a fraction of the size of places like Prospect Park and Central Park, but Brooklyn Bridge Park is definitely one of the biggest points of interest in Brooklyn, New York. Located beside the East River, this park has brought new life to a one-time industrial area. At 85 acres, Brooklyn Bridge Park still very much gives visitors a lot of space for fun activities."

"After exploring DUMBO, head to Brooklyn Bridge Park where you can enjoy another picture perfect view of Manhattan’s incredible skyline. Our lunch recommendations:"

"Prospect Park is easily one of the best things to do in Brooklyn and best parks in Brooklyn for anyone looking for a bit of green space or a hangout location to run, bike, sunbathe or have a picnic. Designed by the same creators of Central Park in Manhattan, Prospect Park is the outdoor space for your recreational activities as well as the location of the Prospect Park Zoo, Brooklyn Botanic Garden, Grand Army Plaza, Brooklyn Museum, Litchfield Villa and the Boathouse to name a few. Believe it or not, Prospect Park isn’t actually the biggest park in Brooklyn, it’s the second-largest behind Marine Park."

"Beginning at the Grand Army Plaza's Triumphal Arch and encircled by the neighborhoods of Park Slope, Crown Heights, and Windsor Terrace, 526-acre Prospect Park is a happening gathering place for local residents. You can see them using the paths for running, biking, dog-walking, exploring the Ravine forest, and picnicking on the Long Meadow and Nethermead. The bucolic park, with its intricate man-made wetlands and trees, is designed by the same architects behind New York's Central Park: Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux."

"On Sundays, Smorgasburg is held in Prospect Park. At the Smorgasburg in East River Park, you can purchase a variety of sweet and savory food as you indulge in a gluttonous lunch."

"Originally home to Castle Garden, the world’s first ever immigrant depot, Battery Park has played an integral role in New York City history since its creation in the 1850s. Before Ellis Island even existed, millions of immigrants arrived to America through Battery Park, planting the seeds that would later transform the country into the nation of immigrants it is today. The park is a wonderful place to wander around, thanks to its great views of New York Harbor and the Statue of Liberty."

"Battery Park, located in Downtown New York is a picturesque park area that’s perfect for a stroll. Take in the sights of the Manhattan coastline, get photo’s of the nearby Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island or simply look up and take in the towering New York Skyscrapers."

"Formerly known as Battery Park, this public attraction provides a unique experience among the city’s harbor. Be sure to visit the various memorials, especially the Eagle statue at the East Coast Memorial."

"Often overlooked, Governors Island is one of the top parks in New York City. You won’t want to miss this lovely and tranquil place, which offers excellent views of the New York Harbor and the city’s most iconic monuments, including views of the Statue of Liberty, the World Trade Center, and the skyline of Lower Manhattan. The Hills of Governor’s Island offers some of the best views of Lady Liberty and the skyline too!"

"A quick ferry ride from Manhattan or Brooklyn puts visitors on the shores of Governors Island. The island sits on 172 acres in New York Harbor, and offers a complete escape from the nonstop energy of New York. The Hills slope 70 feet above sea level and give fantastic views of the Statue of Liberty and the Harbor."

"The last one on the list of must-do activities in New York City is another island. It used to be a military base of buildings and lawns. When you’re here, you feel like a part of New England was imported into NYC."

"Located on the western side of Soho, in the space that used to be Hundred Acres, Shuka is a hidden gem with beautiful tropical vibes and delicious Mediterranean cuisine. Your Instagrammable journey will start right at the doors which are painted in a vibrant ocean blue. Some of our favorite dishes are their Steak Kabob, Chicken Schnitzel, and the pink Beets Hummus, which you might find endearing."

"Central Park is one of the most beautiful places in New York City and certainly one of the best urban parks in the world. There is so much to do in the park—from running, biking, going to the zoo, or just whiling away the hours on the grass. What to do there: One of the best and most popular free things to do in Central Park is the annual Shakespeare in the Park put on by the public theater."

"8 km from city center 23 out of 213 places to visit in New York City. Shakespeare garden is a themed garden in New York City. It is located in Central Park in NYC."

As one of the largest all-you-can-eat seafood buffets and sushi restaurants in the five boroughs, IchiUmi offers something for everyone, quite literally in fact."

"Restaurants Japanese Midtown East. When one California roll isn’t enough, head to this Koreatown favorite for one of the most impressive Asian buffets this side of the Pacific. Sushi, nigiri and other fish dishes are the star, but diners can also slurp up udon and ramen or nibble on yakitori skewers."

"Veselka has been serving up traditional Ukrainian food in the heart of the East Village for more than 60 years. Set on the corner of East Ninth Street and Second Avenue, the cozy Ukrainian coffee shop has grown from a simple newsstand serving soup and sandwiches to a 24-hour gathering spot for the community to enjoy a range of traditional Ukrainian fares such as borscht, bigos, goulash, and pierogi.
