Central Park

Central Park, New York

If you plan on going to The Met, I suggest you head over to Central Park for a stroll right after. You can also grab a sandwich somewhere and munch it here.

Central Park is actually sprawling – and it’s advisable to explore it in various days, depending which side of Manhattan you’re at during the day. Personally, I like the part where the Loeb boathouse (you can rent a rowing boat!) is, and also where the staircase is. It’s also near the pond where Blair from Gossip Girl would feed the ducks.

Spring is a good time to explore Central Park – flowers are in bloom and the place is huge so it doesn’t really get crowded. I like parks – I like being close to nature and how chill it is.

Plus, you don’t have to spend money!

There's an area at the park where you can actually rent remote-controlled boats. I've always been fascinated with remonote-controlled boats and cars, and so I wanted to actually rent one even if it meant I'd be joining kids! Too bad there was like a 45-minute wait for it, so I just opted to explore the park instead.
