Other walks close to Central Park.

Sorted by distance from the start of central park: the southern loop. Good for stitching together a longer day.

Lincoln Center, the Dakota, Zabar's, the Hudson, and the whale hanging over the Museum of Natural History.

The Met steps, the Guggenheim spiral, and the stretch of Fifth Avenue with more art than most countries.

A dozen countries on one avenue, the Theatre District back doors, an aircraft carrier, and the river.

The library, the flagship stores, Rockefeller Center, St Patrick's, and the gilded blocks up to the park.
