Central Park Reservoir Running Track
This is where I take everyone for their first New York run. Soft surface, no cars, no cyclists, and the Midtown skyline reflected in the water at dawn. Run it counterclockwise — it's the rule and people enforce it.
The 1.58-mile soft cinder loop around the Reservoir. Flat, runner-only, and the postcard skyline the whole way.
