We'll explore "the great green heart of the city" - an 843-acre oasis that's been called the greatest work of art of the 19th century. This two-hour stroll through New York's enormous Central Park will include the park's most iconic sites, as well as settings of classic movies filmed in the park (i. e. Breakfast at Tiffany's, Enchanted, Kramer vs. Kramer, Elf, Home Alone II, etc. ) We'll meander through the park, visiting Grand Army Plaza, the Pond, Wollman Skating Rink, the Mall, Sheep's Meadow, Bethesda Fountain & Terrace, Central Park Lake, the Bow Bridge, and Strawberry Fields. Along the way, I'll share the fascinating story of the park's creation, design, and a few secrets.
