"It brings people out makes people a little bit more, friendlier, warmer. I mean, it hypes people up a lot, too - a lot of craziness goes on," said Tony James.

The NYLBC currently has about over 100 members, many of whom found the sport after accidentally coming upon it in Central Park and asking what they were looking at.

"The current status of this station makes daily travel more difficult, more stressful, and in some cases impossible," they wrote in the letter to Lieber in January.

"Brooklyn has always been a place where movement is part of daily life. But today, Brooklynites, like all New Yorkers, are moving less, feeling more isolated and dealing with elevated rates of chronic diseases."

The New York City Triathlon was one of the sport's most iconic races. Debuting in 2001, it quickly became a bucket-list event for age-groupers and pros alike: a swim in the Hudson River, a bike up the closed West Side Highway, and a run through Central Park. At its peak as part of the Life Time Fitness Series, the race attracted up to 4,000 participants - and top names like Olympians Greg Bennett and Emma Snowsill.

SNP introduces NYC public high school students to modern brain research.

Brooklyn's waterfront is set to roll back into motion this spring as the Pier 2 roller skating rink reopens for its 12th season on March 27, ushering in a lively mix of music, movement and community along the East River. Located within Brooklyn Bridge Park, Pier 2 has long been a hub for recreation, but the return of its open-air roller rink signals the start of the season and an influx of outdoor activities for families.

Leading the pack is the Blackhead Range Traverse via Kaaterskill Falls in Haines Falls, with a near-perfect 94.14 score. The two-tiered waterfall, tucked into the eastern Catskill Mountains, has long been a favorite for painters and hikers. Now cyclists are getting in on the action. In fact, Kaaterskill routes appear four times in the top ten, as the dramatic cascade regularly stops riders in their tracks.

Step inside Don't Tell Dad and you're immediately greeted by a warm, low-lit vintage atmosphere. When we arrived, a funky soundtrack was drifting over dark wood floors, while super-comfy olive-green velvet banquettes, booths, and bar stools offered a front-row view of the kitchen in action. Wood panels with coloured glass windows, marble-topped tables set with linen napkins, and vintage cutlery and candle holders hint at 1930s Art Deco elegance, while oval mirrors and playful statement lighting reinforce the space's French bistro vibes.

Stephen Niese, of Flatbush, wore nothing but his swim trunks when he swam his usual 100 yards along the iconic coastline, where the blistering 36-degree water temperatures were paired with a 22-degree wind chill ahead of this weekend's snowstorm. "It's like a rush. You feel superhuman after you come out of the cold," Niese, 62, told The Post after what he called a relaxing dip.

Even if you're not close by, it's worth making the trip. This is more than just a room with chairs and a few tables; the team behind Pier 57 has worked hard on creating an indoor park vibe. There's soft, turf-style seating where you can stretch out and relax. Kids can stay busy with lawn games like cornhole while you sit back, sip a coffee, and watch them play without feeling guilty (or frozen!). And you all will get some much- needed Vitamin D.

"Today's [the] beach, tomorrow's golf, Wednesday recuperate," said Carl Bergonzo, 67, of Gravesend, Brooklyn. "I'm Sicilian, so I don't need to put any [sunscreen] on."

I will never forget watching the Winter Olympics with my Mom and my Nanny on the black-and-white TV we had on the kitchen table in our Windsor Terrace home. It wasn't big, but it was thrilling. I'll always remember them screaming and cheering as the U.S. took home the gold. Though things have changed a lot since then, the Olympics are always memorable.
