Located in Inwood along the Harlem River Greenway are 80 cherry blossom trees planted via the MillionTreesNYC Initiative with NYC Parks in 2007. Looking over the river along the bike path, the esplanade is “the perfect place to experience cherry trees along the water without the crowds,” a spokesperson says. The New York Restoration Project was founded by Bette Midler. In 2015, the one millionth tree of the MillionTreesNYC Initiative was planted in the Bronx, with Midler in attendance.
