Fall in NYC may be overshadowed by their Christmas celebrations, but we love how Central Park completely transforms in the fall.
Whether you want to go to the Top of the Rock for an aerial view, discover the secrets of Central Park or enjoy a nice dinner at one of the area’s restaurants, you should definitely make time for it when you’re in the city are. This will be our second fall season here, and we can’t wait!
Local tip: Don’t limit yourself to the south side of the park. It is the busiest and most touristy area. Head north to venture deeper into the park and find a quiet spot for yourself.
