Dine in Central Park NY - The Boathouse |
|||
 |
One of MY FAVORITE NYC Restaurants - the view and atmosphere are unparalleled. Surround yourself with trees and a lake and you likely won't even know you are in the City. Both the day and night landscape are gorgeous. The food is also good, especially considering most restaurants with "prime locations" don't have great food. Rent bicycles, row boats or a Gondola. |
