Riverside Park (NYC) vs Charles River Esplanade (Boston) (state, rates, pros)

[Oistrakh12]

Which of these two parks do you prefer and why?

Also, which do you consider "prettier" and more scenic?

The Charles simply because the River itself is much nicer and almost a totally recreational space vs the Hudson which is a major commercial artery.

It’s the Paris of New England—it’d be insane for anyone to not be fascinated by Boston, Zenith City of the Seven Seas.

Another big difference is that the Hudson Parkway separates the park and city from the river, while Storrow Drive separates the park and river from the city.

Oh, I didn’t know that was an official sobriquet—I thought it was just a statement of fact. My apologies.

Can we expect a “Green-Wood Cemetery vs Mt. Auburn Cemetery” or a “Prospect Park vs Arnold Arboretum” thread in the future? Asking for a friend..
