NYC Central Park is one of the world’s largest urban parks. It’s rich with history and acres and acres of outdoor goodness. In this guide video we are going to give a bird’s eye view of the park and point out major features.

yeah that threw me off a bit as I have never seen that. thanks for the correction
Excellent 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Hopefully I can visit Central Park in spring time 💕
Fantastic vid thank you
Love it. Awesome video. We were looking for a scooter/bike tour video but none of them had narration. This was very helpful! Central Park is huge. Thank you!
very good overview of Central Park 👍
What an amaaaazing video! I love it! Thank you so much for this. I can't wait to come back to NY ♥
Mr. Olmsted is a fascinating man and I encourage learning about his work. There's a documentary about him from PBS called: Fredrick Law Olmsted. One interesting fact is that at the end of his life he was living at a nursing home where he designed its landscaping. He lost almost all of his memories but while taking walks in the garden he would say "They didn't follow my designs correctly."
Great video! It’s exactly what I was looking for to learn more about Central Park. Can’t wait to see your other videos in prep for our trip. Thank you!
I’m going through all your stuff. Some of the best videos on NYC tourism and living. Most others I see from NYC are mostly personal vlogs- you’re stuff is very informative and will prepare me for my next visit (I just got back from 10 days in NYC but didn’t discover your Channel before).
I appreciate the comment! So glad you found my channel too. 😊 That's great that you can visit NYC again. Second visits are great cause you know what you're in for. Lol.
@@UrbanCaffeine "Second visits are great cause you know what you're in for." This 100%. I also got most of tourist things out of the way and now I can focus on just taking it all in. I spent 10 days there about 2days in Brooklyn so 8 days Manhattan. I walked 15 miles on 2 different days and 10+ miles on 5 days just taking in the neighborhoods and stopping by tourist spots. I still felt I missed so much -- didn't spend anytime on lower east side or east village and missed a few sites in mid-town. Only got to see one play or event.
My next trip would probably include trip over to flushings to check out that Chinatown (I love Asian food) and just spend a day Queens, plus maybe a sporting event like Yankees in Bronx, and check out northern part of Central Park and Harlem.
Thea, I'm blown away at how helpful your videos are. You have been such a tremendous help in preparing us for our NYC trip. I'm going to be doing a couple dozen videos on NYC on our channel, and I'm going to mention you and Jon Barr as our goto destinations for great channels to learn about New York. Our trip starts tomorrow morning!! Very excited
You bet! Many thanks! 😊 It's much appreciated. I hope you have a great trip. (btw, I hope you took note that the Grand Army Plaza in this specific video is incorrect 😶).
@@UrbanCaffeine it's all good. There are a few things we hope to see on Friday morning. We'll see how long until our legs give out. Hoping by starting in the Morning before it gets too hot we can last longer.
@@EscapingtheEmptyNest haha, all the best to you!
The quality of this video is mind blowing, thank you for everything that you do!
Thank you for watching! I'm happy you enjoy them.
This is a very clear explanation of the layout and history of Central Park.
Thanks for giving us as much information about the locations on Central Park and a brief history as well Thea 😃 I love the zoo to see the seals when I go there. Great video as always. Big thumbs up 😎👍
Just want to thank you for this video!!! Been watching "How I Met Your Mother" and planning a trip there once the Covid restrictions are over. Your vids are by far the best and I will be recommending my friends to watch these!
You're welcome and thank you so much for sharing! I can't wait till restrictions are over too. It's just not the same.
Very informative. Thank you! I've been to bits and pieces of the park over the decade, but you connect the dots for me!
Thanks for using my picture from shutterstock ✌️😁. Love it 😉
Thank you for taking the picture! 😊
Super good. Learned a ton. Great job!
Great to hear. Thank you for watching and hope you are having a good weekend!
Great video! I just moved to NYC from out of state, your channel has been super helpful!
Your channel has been so helpful as I plan my move to New York! Thank you so much, looking forward to more videos:)
Advanced welcome to New York! And no problem. Thanks for watching. =)
Wonderful! So many options in Central Park. Thanks for another great video!
Central Park is huge! And events happen there all the time.
Wow. So much valuable information, once again! Your channel is a treasure dear Thea! Thank you for the fun way you educate people about NYC!
nice video! now with good weather we can enjoy central park more
Yes! I was just there last week, very peaceful.
Best presentation I have ever seen !!
Thanks again! This was so much fun. Hoping to be making more!
Wow! This video is fantastic! I am coming to New York City soon and have been working on a navigation guide for Manhattan. Your videos have been extremely helpful and I refer to them all the time to improve my guide. When I was searching for information on NYC maps and navigation, I was so excited to find your channel, what a great idea! Thank you for sharing your videos and I hope you make more about the different areas and neighborhoods within each one in Manhattan and the city overall!
Thank you so much! I'm glad you found my channel. Making these videos have taught me so much as well. How are you making your navigation guide?
@@UrbanCaffeine You’re welcome, I am too! I know so many new interesting facts now after watching your videos.
@@UrbanCaffeine I am working on my guide in a document on google (which I will eventually move to a PDF with page numbers/a directory) that includes categories such as overall general information about NYC and Manhattan, the major sections of the island, Street & Avenue titles, name changes, traffic directions, and other general layout information, the various smaller neighborhoods of Manhattan, address customs and rules, and information about the subway system!
@@jonathankornegay54 Wow that sounds pretty comprehensive, considering New York is massive. Happy to hear that my videos are useful. Good luck with your guide! 😊
@@UrbanCaffeine Yes, haha, it’s certainly been a large project and of course still can’t nearly cover everything given the size of the city, but there’s always something new and interesting to add when it’s comes to New York.
Wow this is the new Thea's avatar! Yay. Happy Friday.
Some people say that Prospect Park is more president friendly and it's designed by the same architect.
Thea is so knowledgeable that she can walk you through the Central Park like a puzzle piece by piece
Push push push Thea's videos to the first page! Happy New-Yorking
Happy weekend! Thanks again for the support! Happy New York-ing 😊
Wow I never realized how big Central Park was until I saw how small 30 tennis courts looked
Every time I go to Central Park, I'm always amazed at how big it is too!
Awesome video!
Wooow, GREAT video! Thanks, Thea :)
Another great video
Great overview indeed, one of the best.
I think this is my favorite one as well. It was a lot of fun to make.
Very well Explained ......Very Informative..:)
Thank you for watching! And I'm happy my videos are useful.
I really love your graphics!!! Are you a graphic designer?
Thanks! Yes, I used to be for a long time before YouTubing.
The Rambles is also....very...interesting between 11pm and 1am in the Summer. 😈
79 St Transverse Rd has narrow sidewalk because some people who works at Fire Station building. Same for 86 St Transverse Rd to access police station. They have stop on M79/M86 SBS. It's not rarely use and SBS machines cannot be added because sidewalk is narrow. When fare inspectors come in, passengers have to tell "I boarded at fire or police station."
Wow great information/video
Thanks for watching! 😊
good vid! keep up the great work🙌🏼
Thank you! Happy to make more of these. 😊
Also Horse Carraige drivers don't follow rules of road either. Horse Carriage drivers are require to follow NYC Traffic Rule.
Under new NYCDOT rule, horse carriages are only allowed to drop off/pickup at authorize hack line inside Central Park at Grand Army Plaza, 6th Av and 7th Av entrance, but they sometimes illegally pickup/drop off at CPW/79th St at American Museum of Natural History.
1- Horse carriage is not allowed to leave Central Park's hack line unless they're going to/from stable.
2. Horse carriage is not allowed in Times Sq, or allowed to use 6th or 7th Avs, including 5th Av.
3. Horse carriage traveling bet stables and Central Park must follow rule of road.
If you see horse carriage drivers in restricted area or breaking rules, take pic of HC licence plate, date/time and call 311 or alert any police officers NYPD or park police. Also tweet photo to NYCLASS. twitter.com/nyclass
Also horse carriage drivers make illegal U-turn on street, illegal left turn from eastbound 59th St to 6th Av entrance.
Also they tent to operate in restricted temperature 18+F/Below or 90+F/Above. When temperature reach these heat/freezewave, they not allow to give customers ride under NYPD Animal Cruelty and NYC Health Dept rule, including heavey weather like hurricane, blizzard.
Love your videos
Thank you for watching!
I wish my city, Durban (South Africa) had a park too
thank you.
Actually horse carriage drivers don't negotiate and if you look at old videos of WIN Animal Rights, they sometimes illegaly put taxes on Horse Carriage ride which carriage rides are not allowed to be tax. NYCDOT moved hack line inside Central Park at Grand Army Plaza, 6 Av and 7 Av, however some drivers are very greedy and pickup/drop off outside Central Park. Some drivers don't follow traffic laws when they come out from 4 stables in Hell's Kitchen and Lincoln Tunnel which are fire hazardous. If stables catch fire, horses wouldn't able to escape.
the best again
Thank you!
I forgot there is a Grand Army Plaza bordering Central Park. I just see the General Sherman monument sitting on his horse. I always think of the Grand Army Plaza that's in Brooklyn.
Oh my gosh, you are right! I put the wrong picture in the video. I put the picture of the arch that is in BK and not the statue that is in Manhattan (although both are Grand Army Plaza). Thanks for point it out!
@@UrbanCaffeine My pleasure lol. U do great stuff btw.
Thank you! I really appreciate it.
😃
👍😊🇹🇹🇹🇹
"He drowned in a steam boat accident" *WOOOMP* 😂
that's a hedgehog not a porcupine
HORSES SHOULDN’T WORK MORE THAN FOUR HOURS!
Great video! I just moved to NYC from out of state, your channel has been super helpful!
That's so good to hear and welcome to NYC! 😊 Hopefully restrictions will ease up a lot more this summer to better enjoy the city.
