Situated on the north-eastern side of Central Park is one of the most beautiful settings in all of New York. Whether you just want to read a book or simply to take a long, relaxing break with a friend or loved one, it's worth seeking out. At the entryway to the park is a spectacular iron gate, which indicates you are on the right path. Unlike most places inside the park, you can only reach this one from the street, as it is cut off by a road to the south and a fence to the north.
After crossing the threshold, you are immediately transported to a place like none other. One would think they stumbled upon an English tea garden, with neatly trimmed hedges and luscious floral and fauna.
Pack a picnic or bring your favorite Bronte novel along.
