The Great Lawn in Central Park

Although The Great Lawn is typically the go-to spot for warmer months, even when it's chilly out, you can always count on this place to be a beautiful oasis. While the skyscrapers are in sight, you are nestled in one of the city's most beautiful parks, surrounded by other New Yorkers who are likely there for some peace and quiet as well.
