Manhattan Locations at a Glance


Swimming at Asphalt Green

The Upper East Side campus operates as a sports complex with public access. Basketball courts and turf fields support different forms of exercise across the campus. Picnic tables are part of the campus setup. Weekday hours extend into evening, running from 5.30 AM to 10 PM. Saturday and Sunday hours run from 6 AM to 8 PM. Indoor restrooms and a vending machine are registered site features. Membership and class rates apply at the complex, and entry is not free.


Asser Levy's Community Park Setting

Public park hours cover each day of the week, from 7 AM to 6 PM. This Manhattan site combines kid friendly public open space with a playground classification. Visitors can enter without an admission fee. The consistent schedule covers weekdays and weekends alike, with one clear morning to late afternoon window. Free public access makes the space available for regular outdoor recreation across the full week, while its park role keeps the focus on everyday play for children and families.


Astor Plate Outdoor Coffee Pause

Tea, smoothies, breakfast items, salads, sandwiches, and quick bites provide several choices across the day. Orders are handled through walk up service rather than an indoor dining room. The setting includes seating in the open plaza. The source confirms that no indoor seating is provided. Daily hours run from 7 AM to 8 PM, and the same schedule applies throughout the week for both morning and evening orders. Drinks and simple meals remain available within this daily window, with the surrounding plaza as the described seating area.
