New York City's Central Park is a vast expanse in the heart of the city, and it can be daunting to explore on your own. With this leisurely Sunday morning walking tour, explore the pathways, gardens, ponds, and monuments of Manhattan’s beloved historic park with a local guide to take in its top landmarks and learn its fascinating history. End by admiring the stately buildings and luxurious avenues of the Upper East Side.
We will admire this statue, and discuss its history and meaning – and remark on what building had been near it – and the Plaza Hotel next door

But it is a product of meticulous design, and now we can enjoy its preservation thanks to the people of the city – its immediate neighbors as well as its occasional visitors. Celebrate the Park!
