Becka Simon: Cleanest public bathroom EVER. The games, library, and outdoor concerts in the summer and shops in the winter make this one of the best parks in NYC
The New Yorker: “Many of the midday strollers in the park are office workers; they have the subdued mood of prison inmates released into the yard for their daily hour of sunshine and exercise.” —Victor Chen, 1974 Read more.
The Wall Street Journal: Try estimating the percentage of women here. On a recent weekday, it was 53%, according to the park's engineer, who considers that a success. "Women are more discriminating park users," he says. Read more.

Travel Channel: “If you’re willing to spend some bucks, I love the St. Regis. They don’t make them like this anymore.” – Anthony Bourdain
Randi Leeds: Bloody Mary was invented here. And they are the perfect amount of spice and tomato-y goodness.
ZenFoodster: Non-fat yogurt flavors are the bomb- banana nut bread, mango sorbet, pistachio, & pumpkin pie.;9
Jonya: Best froyo. Self serve too, so much better than Pinkberry.
Jackie S.: The sweet sixteen flavor tastes like a cross between cake batter, sweet cream, and marshmallow. In other words...CRACK.

Nick Johnson: The best froyo you can find. Ask to try a couples of flavours, then get a mix! Peanut butter and blueberry are my current favourites.
Jonathan Bishop: This is the same Pinkberry used in the filming of episode 14 of season 2 of Gossip Girl. Be sure to sit at the mean girls' table.
Gilt City: Swirly-sweet goodness with a low calorie count. Plus grade-A fruit toppings and extras like shaved coconut and Nutella crunch.
