So awesome. And I love Central Park. There are so many great parks in the city but nothing quite compares to CP. (The Shake Shack in Madison Square Park is a MUST in the summer. Mmm frozen custard...) I just moved away from NYC after living there for 6 years and while I don’t miss it *yet* I do miss some aspects.

Where is it? i've always had a lover for central park though...I like roaming the trails.@np: Those nine things I listed could easily occupy 2-3 days if not more. Sightsee one day, museum hop another, lay in the park or see a show, and eat in between. You'll find 2-3 days is quite easy to fill in NYC.@Theresa: You should make it a stop on your trip!!! @Aimee: I’ve never been to prospect park.

But we all know how life works, and alas I've made it up there only a few times. Hopefully we'll get one more trip in this summer before we leave on our trip, because it really is a fabulous city. I can't see myself ever living there permanently, but I've always thought that one year in NYC would be a great adventure.
