I think this is one of the most exciting places to visit in New York. We went here the first time we set foot in the city. It helped that our apartelle was within walking distance of the park. It was huge to say the least. We weren't able to walk through the whole park but we were able to got a glimpse of a few locations where some famous movies were shot. I think for movie buffs, it is a must to take the Central Park Movie Tour. We actually booked this Tour 2 months in advance. It was free with the New York City Pass. Although it was tiring because it was a two-hour walking tour, the experience was like walking into different movie scenes.
Walkers on the tour will have an opportunity to visit the Boathouse Café used in When Harry Met Sally, the Bandshell from Breakfast at Tiffany’s and Kramer vs. Kramer, along with Bethesda Fountain as seen in Gossip Girl and Enchanted. The tour also includes a stop to take photos at Tavern on the Green, from Ghostbusters, a glance at Wollman Rink used in Love Story and Serendipity, and time to feed pigeons at the exact spot where Macaulay Culkin fed them in Home Alone 2.
The tour also brought us to the John Lennon memorial. A stone's throw away is The Dakota - where the famous Beatle member was shot.
