Manhattan twisties

It's a little known secret that buried deep within NYC is a great - albeit small - route I like to think of as the "mini twisties." That's right, I'm talking about the Central Park loop drive. It's only open during the middle of the day, and on weekdays, which makes it inaccessible to all but the most loyal riders, willing to take a day off from work to cruise about.

Still, during holidays, it's worth the drive. The scenery reminds you of a nice country road, and the road snakes around like a typical New England back woods two laner. The obvious shortcoming, of course, is that it's so small you have to do it three or four times to feel like you got your money's worth. Either way, it's worth a shot to the uninitiated.
