Start of Central Park and perfect starting point for a walk through the park.

Avoid the hot dog stands, the prices here are almost twice as high as in the rest of the park!

Nice space with heavy traffic. But the Plaza Hotel is opposite. Probably one of the most traditional hotels in NYC

The bronze statue of Civil War General William Tecumseh Sherman towers at a height of 17 feet 6 inches and is mounted on a square platform adorned with a soldier on each side, representing the four branches of the U.S. Army: infantry, artillery, cavalry, and engineers. This location was chosen because it is believed that he stood here in 1865, reviewing troops returning from the Civil War.
