Tan, The

You will find the hottest guys jogging around the Tan most nights. Mix of young execs, ordinary joes and professional athletes. If nothing else, it is worthwhile going down there just for the perv. I run there regularly and know a number of guys go down there hoping to get lucky. Have fun!

Best time
6-8 am and 5-9 pm (summer).
Crowd
