5. The Great Lawn
The name says it all. The Great Lawn is the perfect people watching spot, and you are guaranteed to be seen by all of the relevant city dwellers. Even if being seen isn’t your motivation, who doesn’t like to get tan with a skyline view of Central Park South? Bring a picnic and shades, your social media followers will thank you for the pictures you’ll get here.
