anyone know about running from astoria in queens (on ditmars blvd) into central park for good view of marathon?
looks there triborough bridge goes onto randalls island and there's some pedestrian bridge that goes onto manhattan?
not from the area, so any details appreciated.
That's not a good idea.
You can run across the Queensborough...at least I could last time I tried...which is a much better idea.
the pedestrian bridge from randalls island to the upper east side is not always "down," in which case you cannot cross it. beware. take the triboro in that case.
Oh, the Waldorf Astoria is only about 12 blocks from the Park. Head down to 49th and turn left. But you know, the W is much better than the Waldorf (lots of hookers at Whiskey Blue).
