As you probably know this park is not just a New York City landmark. It is more than that. There are some wonderful guided tours around the park. See a list of the tours available here. Customized tours, self-guided tours and guided tours are the three kinds of tours you can choose from. See the calendar here to know the tours available during your stay!
You can either bring your own boat or rent one from here and set sail! The remote controlled boats makes sailing easy even for a beginner! Cool isn't it? See this link for more info and timings.
You can also rent a rowboat for US$12 from Loeb boathouse (10.00 am to 5.30 pm).

- Dive Bar, Dive 75, Broadway Dive are located in 3 different locations, but has the same food. Check out this site to know their address and menu!
- A quick glance at yelp will tell you that Rudy's is fairly popular! Here is a review from New York Magazine:
I visited Rudy's three times during a 7-day vacation in NYC. For me, the best time to come is between 11 am to 1pm on a weekday when there's only a handful of what looked like regulars/locals hanging out. It seems that during the late afternoon and onwards, the place gets packed.
