Maybe we wouldn’t choose to swim in them (unless you’re this guy), but New York just wouldn’t be the same without its signature waterways. NYC’s rivers make the whole city look inviting, crisscrossed with beautiful bridges and reflecting the lights of the NYC skyline at night. Click through our photos and take a look at all the beauty they have to offer. Still can't get enough of river views? Head on over to one of the best boat bars in NYC for some serious time to relax.
