Don’t miss your chance to walk or run around this 1.58-mile track near 90th St, which draws a slew of joggers in the warmer months. The 106-acre body of water no longer distributes drinking water to residents, but serves as a gorgeous reflecting pool for the city skyline and flowering trees. Nearby, at Fifth Ave and 90th St, is a statue of NYC Marathon founder Fred Lebow, peering at his watch.
The most beautiful time to be here is at sunset, when you can watch the sky turn from a brilliant shade of pink and orange to cobalt blue, just as the city’s lights slowly flicker to life.
