If you tell someone that you’re going to the park in New York City, they will assume that you’re talking about Central Park. That’s because this Manhattan-based park is the best park in the entire state (and arguably one of the best parks in the world). Unfortunately, since all of the attention goes to Central Park, most people don’t realize that New York City is filled with dozens of other terrific parks that are also worthy of enjoyment.

New York is not exactly known for being a friendly city. It’s not that people don’t enjoy the time that they spend there. But everyone in New York is busy, headed off to somewhere else and in a rush to get there. They’re working and then catching the subway or battling for a cab, rubbing elbows with the millions of other people around them who are trying to do the same. For the most part, that’s invigorating and exciting. The fashion and nightlife scene in the city, the New York business world and the many activities that are available make it fun to join the crowds in rushing from here to there.
