If you're in Manhattan, there are options, but Central Park is not to be missed. Post where you'll be and you can get more specific info. (Also, some of the US's top runners will be running invitational 8Ks (9 for men, 9:30 for women) after a Club 8K at 7:30.)

I'm back at home now - Thanks for the info. I did get in a few runs in the park and I was able to run the 15k NYRR race on Sunday.

I'm bummed I'll miss the invitational - that would have been great to watch for my own get faster motivation
