Who needs the expense, airport hassle and jet lag of an overseas adventure when you have a place like this to go to right in your own back yard?! You can literally row, walk or horse and carriage your way over to The Boathouse – truly one of my favorite places in all of New York. The site of numerous iconic movies (When Harry Met Sally, 27 Dresses, Enchanted just to name a few) with its lakeside setting in the heart of the Park, this establishment has it all.
Originally built in 1873, The Boathouse is a haven for romantics and nature lovers alike. Indulge in a sumptuous meal, grab an evening cocktail or jump start your day with a cup of “Joe” on the go at the Express Cafe, all the while gazing upon the hills and dales of Central Park.
