is there a better map of the course out there? the official map is missing an amazing amount of information about the actual roads of the course...

Lafayette Avenue in Brooklyn is the best spot in town- keep an eye out for the marathon cheerleaders just before Classon- these girls have been on the same stoop cheering for 3 years straight- they're hillarious

A great place to watch is on Lafayette and St. James in Fort Greene and further down on Lafayette in Clinton Hill - Grand Street or Franklin maybe. But i like that Bronx idea, I would love to see the runners at their worst - and also when they need the most encouragement.

If someone could just run along side me the whole way and cheer me on, I'd appreciate it.

The section in the Bronx. It's empty and that's where you'll see the runners in the most agony.

I have a very easy Marathon viewing strategy: Watch it on WNBC.
