Central Park has to be one of my favorite spots in New York City. When I am feeling a little "overdone" in the concrete jungle of New York City, I love to spend some time in Central Park.
Check out the videos we found on Central Park in the winter, Asking the Locals what they like to do, the Boat Pond and Races, some quieter lesser known areas in the park, and carriage rides.
These videos will give you a sense of Central Park and why you should make sure that you include Central Park in your plans for your next New York City vacation.
You can enjoy it in the any season, my favorite is the fall when the leaves are changing.
This video shows you Central Park in the winter (brrrrr) but it looks beautiful and a lot of fun!

Kelley Ferro, TripFilms own host, interviews local New Yorkers to find out
what the locals do when visiting Central Park.
What they said was:
The host of this video thinks that Central Park is the best place to come when you need a break from the city life! We agree!
This video has some great ideas for checking out some less known and less travelled areas of Central Park including the Ramble, Turtle Pond and the hot dog stands, and cafes to choose for lunch. The host of this video claims that New York Central Park is "the best park in the world"
What can be more romantic or more "New York" then taking a carriage ride in Central Park? On our first trip away together, Warren sucked it up (he is really allergic to horses) and took me on a romantic ride through Central Park. It has always stayed with me as one of our more romantic memories.
I actually thought it would be kind of hokey, but it wasn't, we really enjoyed it. Since then we took a carriage ride from Times Square on a Sunday night late after leaving a club to our hotel near Penn Station which was really pretty cool as the city was quiet and we had 5th Avenue to ourselves! We also took one in the rain from Tavern on the Green (we were there for Easter Brunch) to our hotel across the park. It was much better than a taxi!
Kelley Ferro of Tripfilms shows you how great the carriage rides are and where to get them in this video.
New York is best seen on foot and taking a walking tour is one of the best ways to tour around and see New York. Pick a theme or a neighborhood and find a tour that interests you.
Each New York neighborhood has a different flare and they are so much fun to wander around and explore. You never know what you will find around the next corner.
