  • Central Park Spring Guide

    Central Park Spring Guide

    This is a spring like no other. When the world is in disarray, the natural wonder of a new season unfolding becomes a simple joy and a reminder of nature’s profound power to regenerate and revive. The Central Park Conservancy has been New York’s advocate for Central Park for the last four decades. And now, our staff’s role has become even more important as we work to keep the Park clean, safe, and healthy. A vibrant Central Park cleans the air for New Yorkers, provides a place for mental and physical well-being, and brings us together — even when we are kept apart. This spring, we ask you to join us in celebrating the simple miracles of life: the blooming magnolia, the sweeping vistas from a miniature castle, and the community that is New York. IN THIS GUIDE We look forward to a time when we can be together 2 A Note to Park-Goers in the Park. Until then, we hope our Spring Guide 3 Get to Know Central Park’s Spring Blooms provides you with a taste of the season. 4 Preparing for Spring in Conservatory Garden 5 Central Park Activities 10 Central Park Quiz 11 Central Park Map 2 A NOTE TO PARK-GOERS New York City has seen its share of crises, yet despite all we’ve lived through, New Yorkers remain resilient. In times of turmoil, Central Park has always been here, as a respite, an oasis, or simply a quiet place to escape when we feel overwhelmed. This holds true even as the City navigates the coronavirus outbreak.

The redesigned map should be practical and able to be used in the real world. My choice on the New York State Park is the Central Park in Manhatten New York. I Chose Central Park because of my own experience. As a first time visitor in New York last year, I visited Central Park with my cousin who has been living in NewYork for seven years. While I was doing my research, I did not find any map for first-time visitors from the central park official website. If I were on my own while I first visited Central Park, I would not be able to know where to begin my visit. I am sure that the other first-time visitors would have the same problem. These are the reasons that my map is designed for first-time visitors who have a limited amount of time. In my map, I featured several top attractions in and around the park. I also included some top-rated restaurants around and inside the park since Knowing where to consume good food is essential during visiting.

    Central Park: an American Masterpiece

    CENTRAL PARK: AN AMERICAN MASTERPIECE Central Park, constructed from 1857 to 1873, is a unique and long-recognized masterpiece of landscape architecture and an important work of 19th-century American art. Central Park’s designers, Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux, struggled to establish themselves as artists and to equate their work with the venerable tradition of landscape painting. When the Park was near completion, Olmsted affirmed its status as a “single unified work of art.” Like every other work of art, Central Park is entirely difference that seasonal foliage and vegetation bring to each man-made. The only natural feature on the Park site is carefully composed landscape. the metamorphic rock called Manhattan schist, which is One criterion used to critique a great work of art is its approximately 450 million years old. To create the Park’s longevity—the ability to elicit emotion and communicate naturalistic lakes and streams, low-lying swamps were meaning long after its creation. In this sense, Central Park drained, a naturalistic shoreline was established, and is a masterpiece that has survived the test of time. City water pipes were installed; to create the Park’s vast, undulating meadows, swampland was filled with soil and Like every great work of art, Central Park requires constant rock outcrops were leveled with gunpowder; to create the care and attention to maintain its present beauty and energy.

NYC Official Visitor Guide A Letter from the Mayor Dear Friends: As temperatures dip, autumn turns the City’s abundant foliage to brilliant colors, providing a beautiful backdrop to the five boroughs. Neighborhoods like Fort Greene in Brooklyn, Snug Harbor on Staten Island, Long Island City in Queens and Arthur Avenue in the Bronx are rich in the cultural diversity for which the City is famous. Enjoy strolling through these communities as well as among the more than 700 acres of new parkland added in the past decade. Fall also means it is time for favorite holidays. Every October, NYC streets come alive with ghosts, goblins and revelry along Sixth Avenue during Manhattan’s Village Halloween Parade. The pomp and pageantry of Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in November make for a high-energy holiday spectacle. And in early December, Rockefeller Center’s signature tree lights up and beckons to the area’s shoppers and ice-skaters. The season also offers plenty of relaxing options for anyone seeking a break from the holiday hustle and bustle.

    The Honorable Mitch McConnell The Honorable Nancy Pelosi Majority Leader Speaker of the House of Representatives United States Senate United States House of Representatives Washington, DC 20510 Washington, DC 20510 The Honorable Charles Schumer The Honorable Kevin McCarthy Minority Leader Minority Leader United States Senate United States House of Representatives Washington, DC 20510 Washington, DC 20510 March 20, 2020 Dear Leader McConnell, Leader Schumer, Speaker Pelosi, and Leader McCarthy: We are America’s travel industry, an economic sector that directly employs 9 million American workers and supports a total of 15.8 million jobs. The travel and tourism industry—including but not limited to transportation, lodging, recreation and entertainment, food and beverage, meetings, conferences and business events, travel advisors, destination marketers—is comprised of businesses of all sizes, but the vast majority, 83%, are small businesses. Together we are grappling with the immediate and devastating impact of the current health crisis. Furloughs of American travel workers are happening right now. Travel to and within the United States has essentially ground to a stop due to the actions needed to halt the spread of coronavirus. Aggressive financial relief is needed immediately. Taking care of our employees will always be our top priority, but the hard fact is we cannot continue supporting them through this disaster without relief. To that end, we greatly appreciate and strongly support provisions in the ‘‘Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act’’ that provide: • $300 billion for enhanced Small Business Administration (SBA) loans distributed through an expedited process and can be partially forgiven for employee retention; and • Tax relief to mitigate economic losses, including deferral of tax liability, extension of the Net Operating Loss deduction, and delay of estimated tax payments.
