Central Park

Central Park is one of the best urban parks in the world. I love strolling in the park and discovering all the different spaces and features.

It's an amazing oasis in an increasingly crowded city. When you walk off the street and into the park you feel as if you've taken a little trip to the country. The noise is buffered, the temperature becomes cooler, and the people are less rushed and more joyous.

One of my favorite places in the park is the Loeb Boathouse Restaurant.  It's one of the first places my husband took me before we were married and it holds a special place in my heart. The restaurant is on a lake and one can see through a wall of windows the boaters glide through the green waters and the gondola ferry it's customers across the lake.

It has a wonderful lounge where you can have an aperitif before dinner.


It's a greats spot for a romantic dinner and my hubby recently took me there again.

Here's a peak at our latest visit to the Boathouse:


Beet Salad

Heirloom tomato salad with Greek Feta cheese

Swordfish with cauliflower

 Monkfish with mashed potatoes and sautéed zucchini. Yum!
