Outstanding

Central Park: Nature Psalms in the Steel Jungle This 1 km2 green canvas is New York's greatest contradiction. The 1857 landscape architect Olmsted's fictional pastoral dream on the marshland is now surrounded by skyscrapers, forming the most surreal urban bonsai. The arch bridge is the most photogenic lie. This cast iron bridge looks like a natural stone bridge, but it is a carefully calculated visual trap standing at a specific angle, the arch is just framed in the Empire State Building, and the 19th century natural aesthetics and the 20th century industrial civilization have achieved a perfect conspiracy here. There are always flowers in front of the "Imagine" mosaic in the strawberry garden, where Lennon's undead receive a pilgrimage to fans around the world. On Saturday morning, on the literary walkway, the old man walking the dog shared the same oak tunnel with the jogging writer. The real magic happens in the early morning of the weekdays. When mist shrouded the sheep grassland, the empty carousel turned itself around, the angel statue of the Bethesda fountain just woke up, and the central park finally returned to its original design: a forgetting machine that lets urbanites temporarily forget that they are social parts. Take a bergo on the terrace of the houseboat restaurant and watch the rowing boat leave a fleeting trail on the lake, more New York than any Broadway show.
