I love Central Park. I feel like I am somewhere else.

I may be a lifelong 'downtowner,' but Central Park really is the most amazing and the most beautiful part of New York City.

My favorite place is Central Park because you never know what you're going to find there. I also like that when I look out the windows of surrounding hotels, it's seems like I'm looking out over a forest.

I just want to go through Central Park and watch folks passing by. Spend the whole day watching people. I miss that.

I run from Horatio Street down just past Battery Park City and back. It's amazing to run and see the Statue of Liberty and the ferries coming in. People think if you're not near Central Park, there's nowhere to go, but there's a whole ecosystem happening down here.

Coney Island was the centre of the world for me. I loved the rides, the hot dogs - I've never gotten over it.

The Central Park Zoo is a little gem in the middle of the city. Its penguin exhibit is terrific, and the seals are a permanent center of attraction for children.

And the most unusual and surrealistic place in New York City is Central Park.

When I grew up, we went to Coney Island and Central Park. We'd find our way to the water and watch the fireworks.

I grew up on Avenue C, and Tompkins Square Park was my park. That was where I played ball every day. I lived in that park.
