One of the most magical locales in the city, Central Park lines Fifth Avenue.
Go into "the yard" and discover a zoo, a castle, a reservoir, an an ice-skating rink, a boathouse where you can rent rowboats, a
gorgeous "secret" conservatory garden, and plenty of trails for walking, jogging, bicycling, and horseback riding.
It's a park for all seasons, from ice skating in winter to free, summertime performances of Shakespeare's plays and concerts on the Great Lawn that crescendo to dazzling displays of fireworks.
After the show, you could head over to the bar at one of the neighborhood's tony hotels, like The Mark or The Carlyle.
