ℳ𝒶𝓎♍ • November 16, 2020My favorite part of Central Park, with the arabesque design of the walls and staircase. It's magnificent. The open area at the bottom of the stairs is where performers/bubble blowers park themselves

Ricardo Daniel L. • August 28, 2017Less famous than bow bridge if has some great views as well. Gotta give a chance to every corner at this park.

Juan S. • June 29, 2012I dont come here much

Mari • August 12, 2011A hidden hang out when you need a rest from all the walking around the museum. Grab a drink from the bar and enjoy the view.

Roger S. • December 16, 2014Nice overlook to watch people climbing the rocks.
