For starters, fuck downtown, you'll find shit here and there but in the end after getting kicked out semi-constantly you'll end up hittin up more bars than spots...
Having said that if your uptown in the 100's on the west side definitely check out Riverside park(108 & riverside dr) Columbia University(116 & broadway, JUST DON'T SKATE BY THE LIBRARY OFF AMSTERDAM! do some recon on the campus and you will find no-bust shit, trust me)The water refinery park on 145th and riverside dr(banks,banks,banks, ledge, more banks, manny pad).(if cops are cruising by just stop skating and it's a no-bust)If your feeling adventurous enough after going to the 145th st. park that I mentioned keep going uptown to Washington Heights(168th st & broadway)theres a ledge spot across the street from the hospital(DO NOT SKATE THE MARBLE LEDGES AT THE HOSPITAL! THATS A NIGHT IN JAIL! ask me how I know...)if you go even further up to 174th st on Broadway there a park with some benches(numerous DRO/HAZE spots located adjacently)Me an my peoples usually just drag the box and the flat bar over to 178th & Fort Washington under the George Washington bridge. I *still* don't know why peeps are still all over the downtown steez, theres stuff here and there but most of it(90%) results in a bust, with exception to Battery Park 1 day...All I'm saying is here are some spots relatively close to where you'll be staying, Lennox ledges are dope, and I hope you enjoy your stay
If your in the 170's I'll see you.
hPS.
Downtown headz don't come up here cuz their soft
and I guess it's more fun to look cool than to actually get a decent day of skating in
