The Corcoran GroupThe Corcoran Group: If you’re strolling through the park…this is a “Must See” spot…especially when the water is flowing. Make sure you stop and listen to the singers when they’re in the passageway.

JwowJwow: One of my favorite spots in Central Park overlooking the Bethesda Fountain. Now you have a decision to make, either go right towards the boat house, or left to strawberry fields. You can't go wrong!
