One of
the great pleasures New Yorkers and tourists enjoy is getting away from it all in Central
Park.
Stretching 51 blocks
between 59th and 110th streets, this 843 acre, green rectangle has served its city well
since 1859.
From famous statues to castles, there is so
much to see within this pastoral landmark.
Your
first stop should be The Dairy.
Built in 1870 as a milk bar, it now serves as the main Visitor
Center.
Maps and information boards are
posted throughout the Park. But if you're having
trouble finding your way around, ask somebody! New Yorkers are friendlier than you may have heard.
There are other ways to see Central Park!
If you're in New York for some romance, you can't pass up a hansom cab
ride.
These fairy tale chauffeurs line up across from the Plaza Hotel
at 59th Street and Fifth Avenue.
