Downtown Alliance Highlights Post-Race Specials

 

There’s no better place to finish a race than Lower Manhattan.

Participants in the NYC Half, the March 20 half-marathon sponsored by New York Road Runners, will have a host of post-race specials to choose from, and the Downtown Alliance has gathered them in one convenient location.

“Lower Manhattan is always buzzing with energy after the NYC Half, and we can’t wait for this year’s installment,” said Elizabeth H. Berger, President of the Downtown Alliance. “With spring in the air, runners can enjoy some of the city’s best outdoor bar and dining venues, parks and waterfront views—and rest their legs by taking our free Downtown Connection bus service around the district.”
