...have two skating rinks in Central Park to help you make the most of the cold. The Lasker rink at the north end of the park converts from a swimming pool in the summertime. It is however, less popular, and less safe particularly at night than the Wollman Rink. The Wollman Rink is one you've probably seen before, even if you've never set foot in New York City. It's the rink across which the baddies chased our hero in Home Alone 2, and is currently ... ...at the south end of Central Park, between 62nd and 63rd Streets on the East side, just a short stroll from Bloomingdales. In the summer time its’ concrete base is used for in line roller skating. The queues to get in can look pretty intimidating, particularly during the festive season when skating here is the thing to do, and the place to be seen.

Advantages: natural paradise in metropolis Disadvantages: it has proven its lack of safety once again

Going around Central Park in a car could take longer than walking through it sometimes.

Advantages: stunning scenery, quiet and peaceful Disadvantages: v. cold in February!!!
...an early morning walk through Central Park. I never realised until I'd seen that we'd been passing it for ages, just how big it is, it's huge!
We were strapped for time but it was an incredible experience. It was just unbelievable how quiet and peaceful it was... you almost forget you're in the madness of New York City.. until of course the skyline pokes itself over even the tallest trees.
