2. The Central Park Lake

If you live in New York and haven’t taken a boat out on the Central Park lake, are you even a New Yorker? You should check this spot off of your bucket list at least once. And while you’re out on a rowboat, why not take in the stunning sight that is Central Park?There may be a lot of tourists around, but don’t let that stop you from enjoying your city. This is the closest you will get to doing a summery and outdoorsy activity while in the heart of Manhattan.
