Andro Bucher –
I went down to the hotel lobby at 5.53am and already saw Dan waiting outside with his orange zip shirt. What a way to start the week. Dan was a fun running guide and he gave me suggestions where/what to eat and show me some nice running lanes in Central park and all the stories/information I needed to hear from the buildings, parks, neighborhoods we past by, etc… Thank you for the email with more suggestion about running. I highly recommend this tour to get a glimpse of Manhattan. And thanks to Dan, I got to know the names of the two lions in front of the New York Public Library. Merci vielmal – your running guest from Switzerland
