Two years cancer free that’s such a beautiful thing to hear I’m happy for your victory ❤️

For runners, the outer path around the entire park is great little 10k route.

[FoodandFootprints]

That view from the Met rooftop is amazing! Great tip

I’m going to New York on Thursday for the first time in my life and your videos have been really helpful. Great job Jon 😃👏🏻

Im going today for the 1st time, with my 15 years old daughter. Im so exited, I live in NJ and never had the time. Im planing to go several times this year to enjoy every spot in abundance. My favorite was the museum, there is were we are going today, God willing. Thank you so much for the virtual tour.

One of my favorites is Belvedere Castle.

I loved the Alice in Wonderland statue...this lady couldn't bear children, so her adoring husband built this
in her honour, for young children to enjoy and climb over 😍😍

Great video! But you missed the Central Park Zoo on 65th St and 5th Ave. Actual penguins and polar bears in Manhattan😍

[gabedellar]

Imagine playing hide and seek in the whole park😂

Jon, wonderful job with the video - many people miss out on the northern end of the park, which is amazing in its own way (as you explored). I wouldn't miss wandering in the North Woods (get that real forest feel in the big city), stopping by the Lasker Rink/Pool (depending on the time of year), the Mount (yes, CP/NYC's HUGE compost pile! I couldn't believe it), walking/running around the reservoir (which has its own incredible history), and of course, visiting the Balto statue near E 67th. Again, great work!

Seeing some these places remind me of when I worked in the city, this park was the quiet place to go when you need that relaxing moment. Yes the roof top is the place it used to close at 9 or 10 pm it’s beautiful to see the lights around the park. Thank you keep working there’s the whole island of Manhattan that I must say there’s beauty and peaceful places to be there any moment.

Nice. I need to do all these things. 👌

I'm a semi-regular tourist in the city about 5 times a year, and I've been dying to find things to do in Central Park outside of the traditional stuff. I appreciate this video, and also the content you put out!

[celiacabral]

I have spent so much time in Central Park and never knew about a few of these places. Putting it on my list! Thank you!

[TyroneBeiron]

Yup. No. 1. Last week I 1-dered around Central Park at my first visit to NYC, and loved it. Thank you for all your videos and wishing you all the best in health and love.

[TraderGirlx]

Totally enjoyed this video, so many fun things to see and do and all walkable .... glad you're feeling better 🙂❤️

[SophieLovesSunsets]

Great video Jon and Team Adriana! This channel is the best NYC channel on Youtube without a doubt! I agree with a comment someone has already posted here, the outer path really is great for runners, my hubby and I run that route all the time and it's definitely one of the best in the city. I'm so happy that you mentioned the Conservatory gardens, being Italian myself, the Italian garden is one of my favourite spots in the park. Central Park is beautiful all year but I find it so gorgeous in the fall/winter when there are orange and red leaves everywhere 🍂🍁🗽

I am going to Central Park for a whole day long relaxing trip after Covid is gone.

[cfreemful]

Class act production! I loved how you intertwined the history of the Park with the actual pictures of the park.Great job!

[TommyboyGTP]

So many cool hidden gems in the park! I really like that roof top view that was amazing!
