One of the things we did with our visitors from Philly was rent a boat on the Lake. You have to hand it to the people who named “The Lake” – they were very creative. As far as entertainment in NYC goes, renting a boat to cruise around The Lake is about as inexpensive as it gets. I had passed The Lake many times but never looked into actually paddling around. We decided to check it out and it’s only $12 per hour. It was fun . . . especially when you have energetic kids at the oars doing the work.
There was also a nice sky show.
