New York, NY, USA < change city >

"Central Park, a huge rectangular slice of oxygenating greenness, is New York City's lungs and soul. Taking up a mammoth 843 acres (341 hectares) in Uptown Manhattan, Central Park is laced with walkways, jogging paths, and woodlands. Not just a place for relaxation, Central Park is also home to a zoo, skating rink, theater, reservoir, boating lake, fountains, bridle paths, and a carousel. If you’re feeling peckish after all that activity, drop into the Loeb Boathouse for a buffet brunch or dinner. Popular photo stops in Central Park include the Alice in Wonderland and Balto the Malamute statues, the Belvedere Castle atop Vista Rock and the John Lennon memorial gardens at Strawberry Fields, opposite Lennon’s former home in the Dakota apartment building."

"Located at the northeastern tip of the Lake, stands the Loeb Boathouse that houses the Boathouse Restaurant, a famous icon of Central Park. Overlooking the Lake it is the perfect place to dine on a relaxing afternoon lunch or romantic dinner in the warmer months. Many diners prefer the deck where they can sit back and watch the rowboats and occasional gondola drift by on the Lake as they enjoy a salad or refined fish platter. It is easy to lose oneself in this magical atmosphere and truly forget you are still in the City. Swans and ducks frequently approach the restaurant's deck in search for a friendly handout. From the restaurant"

"The Wildlife Center's zoo in Manhattan allows animals to roam in simulations of their own natural habitats. In the Tisch Children's Zoo, kids (and kids at heart) can get touch goats, sheep, pigs, and other farm animals. You're even encouraged to feed them. Meanwhile, at the sea lion pool in the center courtyard, visitors can marvel at these sleek creatures as they swim by. However, not everything has changed. Just outside the Wildlife Center doors, the George Delacorte Musical Clock still plays nursery rhymes every half hour as playful bronze animal sculptures dance around it"

"Charming zoo in the always fabulous Central Park. www.centralpark.com"

"Central Park"

"Central Park spans two and a half miles from 59th Street to 110th Street and half a mile from Fifth Avenue to Eighth Avenue and was the first urban landscaped park in the United States.

Today, the park is home to numerous restaurants, playgrounds, the Metropolitan Museum, the Central Park Zoo, and Wollman Rink."
