Central Park

It's big. It's lovely. It's popular. That's what she said! And she was talking about the one and only Central Park. Definitely worth a stroll. Recommend a horse drawn carriage ride, and weather permitting, a little canoeing in the lake. I took two beautiful Eastern European women I met on a train here (pictured) after we spent the night together at Hotel Wellington, down the block, which I'd wanted to stay at because that's the name of the rich white guy whose body Chris Rock's character inhabits in "Down To Earth" (a fun remake of "Heaven Can Wait"). I can't think of a nicer way we could have enjoyed a fine morning in the city than a good ole amble through Central Park!

This so is awesome. My children enjoy it so much we spent over an hour just walking around the Tropic Zone. The birds in that area are beautiful. They loved watching the bats. The moment we walked in the peacock started preening, opening his tail feathers for attention. Great place for pictures too. They have a fantastic show with the seals during feeding times, several times a day. My girls really enjoyed watching them. The zoo is small enough to enjoy in a single visit, and enjoyable to visit more than once. Great experience.

Big and beautiful. There is so much you could do in Central Park that it would be easy to get lost. There are limited bathrooms and they aren’t always clean, so be aware of that. I would recommend finding one or two things you are interested in seeing and spend time enjoying them. You can often find musicians playing. If you stop and listen, be courteous and leave a tip!

We had a great time wandering around Central Park in the sunshine and sitting on the grass. Plenty of stalls around to buy ice creams and other stuffs.. There are rest rooms around which are well maintained. The rest rooms are readily available and the Dairy visitors center was cool. It is a lot bigger than I envisaged and we only managed to go half of the park in the 4 hours we allocated to it. Absolutely breathtaking and so beautiful. I got a ton of photos around the park :) What delightful green space this is. We walked and marveled at the layout and rock formations. Plain and simple, this was a wonderful respite from the bustle of NYC. I really loved going round the park on the back of the bike and seeing film scenes. I would come back to NY and visit this location again.

We visited on New Year's Eve 2017, just after a light snow fell earlier that day. It was crisp and clear and there was an unusual calm over the park. We watched the fireworks at midnight, and raised a glass to the new year. The people were friendly and seemed content with casual strolls through the park late into the evening. Just after midnight, marathon runners came through and were greeted by cheers and applause. What a beautiful park to visit.
