    Same review for Central Park. This is by the 97th street and 5th ave entrance. Love this area of the park. Great for dogs and picnics.

    A quintessential picnic-in-the-park location. A great spot to bring kids for fun and to get rid of their 'wiggles'. For the older crowd, a blanket, a few good friends, bottle of chardonnay, and charcuterie board are all that is needed for an enjoyable afternoon of people watching.

    Here we had the Gaylord Family Reunion in honor of a recent deceased family member Gerald Gaylord.

    A slightly less well for wear cousin to Sheep's Meadow. Fenced in, which is nice for keeping tabs on your kids. The grass is in decent shape but there are plenty of bare patches. There are a few rocks for your toddler explorer. A bit overrun with parties and gatherings thrown together with tables and chairs (most without the requisite permit, it would seem). There is a nearby playground with a single bathroom that was in terrible shape when we visited. This is an OK option if you are nearby but it is worth your while to venture to other parts of the Park.

    This massive tree can't even satisfy my lens. But you can vibe underneath it.

    Green lush grass, shaded paths and roads closed to traffic. Steady flow of locals and visitors enjoying the nature and engaging in recreation.

    One of my favorite places in NYC. You can see many beautiful things here and it is usually quite.
