Did NOT get a chance to really take in Central Park so I really enjoyed these photos. I sent father and daughter two years ago for a weekend "date".

She's constantly showing us new things about the city on her blog. <br /><br />But, no, we did not climb up behind the bandshell. For one thing, we didn't have enough time. But I wonder if Robin knows what you're talking about? Probably! I guess we'll just have to go back.Ginnie Harthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14014434422568561157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10327858.post-90004428995359633382013-11-19T21:55:55.812+01:002013-11-19T21:55:55.812+01:00That's a good start on your NYC visit.

I grew up on W. 86th St., so I couldn't see the parade from my house, but my parents had friends with a third floor apartment in the San Remo. That's the building with the two towers on CPW that you photographed. If you do a little research you'll discover the architect was Emery Roth.<br /><br />Beautiful shots at Bethesda Fountain. On a good day there's always something going on there. Somewhere I have photographs of a beautiful model wading into the fountain just as Anita Ekberg did in Trevi Fountain in La Dolce Vita.<br /><br />When I lived in Manhattan Bethesda fountain was rarely filled and the arcade beneath the park road was in terrible disrepair. I hope you climbed the stairs behind the bandshell to the ancient grape arbor and walked south past the zoo to the Plaza. In all my life, the park has never looked as good as it does today, but it was great being a kid there in spite of tougher times. It looks like you had a great trip and your park pictures are wonderful.<br />Ted Rothhttp://rothphotos.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10327858.post-87689344600729784712013-11-18T18:16:34.203+01:002013-11-18T18:16:34.203+01:00The memory of that place, especially Strawberry Fi...The memory of that place, especially Strawberry Fields, is definitely alive and well, MLMA.

Life goes fast, so what a nice way to wind down in the Park.<br />I never knew about Strawberry Fields other than the song. Amazing that after all these years, they keep the memory alive. <br />Robin did great, to show us as much as possible in the 5 days. <br />Great post, we are so lucky.Astridhttp://picturit.shutterchance.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10327858.post-39065620985039775322013-11-18T15:56:48.335+01:002013-11-18T15:56:48.335+01:00Well of course you know that I LOVE this post!
