This is where all the students and slackers hang out when the sun is out :)Be sure to clean up after you!
Usually crowded in summer, but try to find yourself a nice place on the grass or sand. Swim, walk, play, rest, you can do it all over here!

One of the most iconic parks in NYC and one of it’s most notorious. Currently going through a massive renovation, but that hasn’t kept the people away!
We love the awesome views, promenades, rolling greenery and awesome playgrounds. We don’t like the ticket you’ll get if Fido is seen frolicking in the greenery.
Start your visit at the Greenmarket – where you’re likely to drop a lot of hard earned loot – and then visit the dog run, ending with the performers/college students at the south end of the park.
Besides the Shake Shack and the lines of people, check out the dog run, the views of the Flatiron, the featured art, the fountain and the Calexico Cart.
A mecca of fun things to do – outdoor films, ping pong and yoga in the summer, ice skating in the winter and great people watching all year round.
Make a point to visit the upper floors of the castle (only accessible by narrow winding stairs) and enjoy the best views of the park from the park. Call ahead to check if they’re open.
Another great place to enjoy a great run or bike ride. For those more adventurous types, you can go Kayaking or dive in for a triathlon-training swim.
If you need a break from the city, you don’t need to go far. Visit this immaculate park with a date and a bottle of wine (hush hush)…its romantic and inspiring.
The best year-round market brings together 150 local vendors carrying all manner of vintage, handmade and antique wares. The Flea will move to its winter location on November 26.
