Central Park ...We went through it to get to the Guggenheim. Calling the park big is definitely an understatement.

smuncky - Central Park is under 850 acres, so it is not as big as you think. Chicago's Lincoln Park, for instance, is 1200 acres if you are talking size.

What distinguishes Central Park is its surrounding skyscrapers, and being ranked number 1 in usage in the USA. They always throw around that figure of 25 million a year. Lincoln Park I think is second in usage at about 20 million visitors a year. I don't know where they come up with these figures. I'll double check and revise this post if I am wrong.

Now for the stuff of legend - Guggenheim Museum NY. When I was in NYC a few months back, our project was only two blocks away. A most photogenic host even in repair.

Thought I throw in this, since it applies and I had the reference:

Excellent overall effort!
