For me, the best part about being at The Promenade is simply being near the water. The stunning…read moreview across the Hudson River is like a chef's kiss cherry on top. I am both amazed and soothed by the faint sounds of the water splashing and minimal chatters as people are walking by or staring at the views themselves. Any time of day is great, but especially at night. And yes, it's well-lit. There are also options to dine at a restaurant or grab a quick treat like ice cream. I prefer to go whenever it is warm outside - so spring or summer is perfect. The only drawback is the inconvenience of parking spaces! Tough to find, all of the time. Keep that in mind. That's why I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5.

It also came with an additional bird's exhibition that took place right in front of office deck. All the stuff members were very friendly, informative and interactive. We spent wonderful couple of hours here on beautiful warm summer day.
