Ride-share apps such as Uber and Lyft operate across New York's larger cities, and public transit varies from extensive to minimal.

Beautiful park. Not sure why its not talk about more & use more frequently. It has an amphitheater with a big stage for all types of performances. The lake is very well maintained...awesome for walks or just simply viewing. The park is huge, I didnt get a chance to checkout everything. Schenectady has a gem.

Nice park. There's swimming, baseball, tennis, and Frisbee golf. This park needs a good grounds crew. The park needs maintenance now to clean it up and not much has been done. There's more that could be done with this park for the community. Slowly they are fixing it up.

Amazing unique ice cream flavors. Nice spot with fantastic seating area. If you're looking for tons of toppings and Sundays this will not be your place. If your looking for great tasting ice cream you will love it. You can sample all of their flavors for free. There are many great homemade icescream spots but even if it sounds odd all I can say is their icescream tastes super fresh and not overly sweet, which I tend to like. It's more subtle but where else can you find Thai tea and cookies and Ube Heath bar crunch , my hands down favorite. Flavors constantly change so check their website for updates. Highly recommend!

Though it shares its name for the famous park in Manhattan, this park is very distinctive in its lay-out. There are fountains, swimming pools and gorgeous verandas. In the summer, concerts and markets take place here. Lots of greenery.

Absolutely stunning park that is well maintained and has so much to do. From their stunning rose garden, the fountain and water views, the serene walking paths and lush green grasses perfect for laying and relaxing and enjoying the outdoors. There is something for everyone at this park and it shows by the amount of people I see always enjoying it. I feel nothing short of grateful that I am walking distance from this beautiful oasis.
