We are a group of 4 women, visiting from California, would love to see fall leaves, We’d love to bring out own picnic., how do we book a tour?
Hi Leslie – if I understand the question correctly, one option is to wander Central Park yourself and bring your own picnic. If you’d like to book a Central Park tour, please feel free to check out some options here: https://www.nycinsiderguide.com/central-park-ny
Another option is book one of our many Fall Foliage Cruises: https://www.nycinsiderguide.com/new-york-city-events-october#foliage. They usually offer drinks and food on board, either included or for purchase depending on the cruise, but I’m sure you can also bring your own picnic if you choose.
