Such a cute idea for a post. I was only in NYC once and only saw a teeny corner of that park. It’s just so big, I’ll have to go back!
Now I want to watch these movies just to see the Central Park 😛
Love all of those movies. And love Central Park! But really ..I had no idea it was the 5th largest park in NY. Is that in the state or the city? Just wondering since it is so huge!
