Hi everyone! I thought it’d be good to start a rolling update thread for the East River esplanade path (maybe even get this pinned since there are always questions about access?)
I am on the UES, so I’ll start: as of 10/5/26, the entrances at 54th st and 71st st are open and available. The path runs from 54th st up to 73rd st, where it is then blocked off.
this is insanely random and out of character, but I (F) was walking my dog on one side of the sidewalk and you (M) were on the other side carrying a golf bag. We glanced at each other and looked away. I looked back after a couple of steps and you looked back at the same time. Thought it was a fluke… but it happened two more times, necks craned! My dog ended up pooping (lol) and holding me up, so I was hopeful you’d turn back around and strike up a conversation, but alas… when I turned back you were gone.
If you’re my mystery man, let me know! How? Tell me what cross streets we were between/where we were walking. If not, this was a fun experiment of putting myself out there!
