Do you plan to visit New York City -- NYC -- The Big Apple? Fantastic! Go see the Empire State Building and the Statue of Liberty for sure, but do not miss the glorious Central Park! It is an urban jewel: 843 acres of lawns, lakes, woods, ball fields and secluded paths. Within its expanse, you can ice skate in the winter or row a boat all year long or munch a hot dog or eat a fine meal. A lot of visitors want to know where is the carousel in Central Park? Or is the Carousel in Central Park open in the Winter? The park looks better than it has in at least half a century. Plan a full day and walk the entire park!
