Go for a walk through Central Park and stop at the Met. It's the best way to get a feel for what makes New York so special.

And the most unusual and surrealistic place in New York City is Central Park.

I may be a lifelong 'downtowner,' but Central Park really is the most amazing and the most beautiful part of New York City.

In New York, everybody looks great and is well dressed, but seeing someone in Ohio wearing Marc Jacobs is like spotting an owl in Central Park. Rare.

You can get the true essence of New Yorkers by just hanging out in Central Park.

I lived in New York City for a while and miss it like it's a person. Although I grew up in the Pacific Northwest, I'm a New Yorker at heart. A stroll through Central Park, a visit to the MET, a show on Broadway. There is no other city like it in the world!
