Central Park is the number one NY attraction on TripAdvisor and I was looking forward to seeing it. I have to say that I wasn’t that impressed. If I was being entirely honest I would say that I found the whole experience incredibly frustrating and I’m in no hurry to go back. On the positive side it has nice trees and lovely grassy areas but every self respecting park has that so if that’s all it takes then I can give people a hundred other parks just as nice. What I wanted to see were the parts that make it different from every other park but what I saw was the Alice in Wonderland statue 3 times because for some unknown reason there is an aversion to signposting key attractions and a series of pathways that loop back on themselves with such a gradual curve that you don’t notice until Alice pops up again! I decided I’d rather sit on a New York bus and watch the traffic than spend another minute with “nature” so I found the nearest exit (an achievement in itself) and headed back to the hotel to watch Eurovision on YouTube.
