The Central Park is an urban park in New York City located between the Upper West and Upper East Sides of Manhattan. It is the fifth-largest park in the city, covering 843 acres (341 ha). It is the most visited urban park in the United States, with an estimated 42 million visitors annually as of 2016, and is the most filmed location in the world. The Park is not as spectacular this time of year as it is during the warmer times of the year. It lacks the street performers, the musicians. But it radiates even more tranquility than usual, especially at this time of year. Disturbing was the rickshaw driver who offered his services with loud hip-hop drumbeating. If he had stayed near us any longer, I would have rudely pulled the plug on him. © 2023 Arlequin Photographie

For that I had come to Central Park today: The Wollman Rink Wollman Rink is a public ice rink in the southern part of Central Park. It is named after the Wollman family who donated the funds for its original construction. The rink is open for ice skating from late October to early April. Of course, it would have been nicer if there had been snow in general. But this year's winter in New York City doesn't allow it - it's too warm. The Rink gained notoriety for numerous movies in which it served as a backdrop. Among them were Love Story and Serendipity. moviemaps.org/locations/369 © 2023 Arlequin Photographie

The stop at Penn Station meant an unexpected train change for us, because our train had a defect. Therefore was time for this picture. You can also use waiting time. © 2023 Arlequin Photographie

They say you can identify first-time visitors to Manhattan by the way they relentlessly look up and may even run into trash cans and mailboxes. This cannot be completely dismissed, especially if you come directly to Midtown via Penn Station and leave the station under Madison Square Garden. © 2023 Arlequin Photographie

But Manhattan is really very empty at this time of year © 2023 Arlequin Photographie

Today, even the name on the coffee mug was almost right. Only one "n" was missing :-) --> PiP www.ipernity.com/doc/arlequin_photographie/51264736 © 2023 Arlequin Photographie

It is one of the most dangerous places anywhere in Manhattan - at least for me. I just can't walk by there, I have to go in. And then the shop... The New York Public Library On a mission to inspire lifelong learning, advance knowledge, and strengthen communities. © 2023 Arlequin Photographie
