New York City - Upper West Side & Central Park
New York’s antidote to the endless stretches of concrete, Central Park is a verdant escape from honking horns and sunless sidewalks. Lining the park with inspired residential towers, the Upper West Side is home to the Lincoln Center.
- escape the city’s frantic urban madness with a day spent picnicking on Sheep’s Meadow, row-boating on the lake and strolling the grand Literary Walk in Central Park
- wallow in the operatic trials of Rigoletto, Carmen and Figaro at the Metropolitan Opera House
- walk among the world’s largest dinosaurs at the American Museum of Natural History
Coverage includes: Neighbourhood Top Five, Local Life, Getting There & Away, Sights: Central Park and more, Eating, Drinking & Nightlife, Entertainment, Shopping and Sports & Activities.
