After breakfast at Friedman’s we headed up through Hudson River Park to 59th Street then made our way over to Central Park via Columbus Circle. It was gloriously sunny and very hot as we wandered through the park to The Pond and Gapstow Bridge. Surrounded by lush greenery and with the skyscrapers of Central Park South as a backdrop, this small body of water and it’s arched stone crossing is one of our favourite areas in the park.
