If you're in town on the first Sunday in November, watching the marathon and cheering for the runners is a must-do activity. Better if a friend or a co-worker is running but it doesn't really matter. It's fun.
One thing to do is to go to Central Park and watch the runners arrive in the park, where the finish line is. Alternatively, a great spot to watch the runners up close is Long Island City, in Queens.
Take the 7 Train in Manhattan towards Queens and go to the Vernon-Jackson station (one stop from Grand Central) and you're right there in the middle of the action, with and great vantage point and a smaller crowd.
