This tour goes beyond merely walking in the park and pointing out landmarks you may have seen in TV shows and movies. We will start off by discussing urban development in the 19th Century and how the Park came to be. As we move through the Park, we will bounce back and forth through its history and highlight different events that define it. Central Park has become the cornerstone of Manhattan and is perhaps what distinguishes New York from other global cities. Don't miss this chance to truly understand it.
