Blissful Sunday Afternoon at Central park Manhattan New York (Photos!)

Eileen Hsu 許小姐 Manhattan NY Real Estate

Today in New York city, the temperature is about mid to high 50 degrees, and we are certainly feeling Spring coming along.

We did not want to waste the beautiful weather, we took the time and went for a walk in the park. Once we were in the park, we see many people have the same idea. Everyone came for a walk or a jog, some with bicycles, some with skateboards. Others went for a horse carriage ride. We enjoy our time lounging around on Park benches ourselves.

Horse carriage ride.

Perfect day for a picnic, sun-bathing, lounging in the sun.

Stroll along the park in a Sunny day like today is very enjoyable and a great exercise too.

We are Central Park lovers and Upper West Side residents. If you are looking to purchase a condo near Central park, contact us today at 917 837 8869. We can show you the best part of Upper West Side neighborhood and the best condos that will suit your needs.
