what to do when you want to spend the day at the park
Coffee & breakfast from Maman.
Citi Bike to Central Park along the West Side Highway - cross over to the park anywhere between 73rd and 95th. You’ll have to bike on some streets and those roads are a bit quieter.
Walk through the park and find a spot to lay out / read a book / relax.
If it’s the spring, walk down Park Avenue and enjoy the tulips (they are nicest between 90th and the mid-70’s).
Lunch at Via Quadronno - you’ll feel like you’re in Italy. Get the artichoke salad and the gelato. The tomato mozzarella is not that good.
Shop around Madison Avenue.
Drinks at The Whitby Bar.
Dinner at Monkey Bar.
