Worth it, says Antonina. Been? Say if you agree.

It’s one of the widest, most sweeping views you can get from anywhere in the city and it’s a neighborhood park.

What I wrote thereFold it away

Sunset Park (the actual park, in the Sunset Park neighborhood) sits on a hill that gives you a panoramic view of the entire Manhattan skyline from a distance. It’s one of the widest, most sweeping views you can get from anywhere in the city and it’s a neighborhood park. No tourists. Just families having picnics and kids playing soccer while the greatest skyline in the world glows behind them. Take the D/N/R to 36th Street and walk uphill. You’ll know it when you see it.
