New Yorker’s lives are hectic. The city that never sleeps is permanently on cocaine, because its heart is pumped with people who would continue about their business, long after the Energizer Bunny has stopped thumping. So, what is a New Yorker to do when the madness takes a break and allows for a gasp of air? When a weekend flight breaks the bank, and a bus to the countryside seems like an eternity away, there is a local option. This “getaway” is none other than Central Park.
Sheep Meadow is my favorite escape. This popular yet relaxing section of the park is located between 66th and 69th street, on the west side of the park. It is without the vastness of the Great Lawn, which gives it a slightly more enclosed feeling.
There are a number of things that you may do here. I frequently spend whole days reading a book, while I occasionally work on my body bronzing. My bronzing body is great eye candy for you attractive ladies out there, but for my fellows, chica watching is also skintastic. If you’ve got some of that permanent “holiday weight,” throwing frisbees, footballs, and baseballs are welcome.
In case you did not think so, this is a five star service meadow. With it being tucked away in the park, there is squat-side service from the local hustlers. Everything from ice water and beers to gummy snacks will be offered during your stay.
So, I hope I sold this meadow. You are invited, but please don’t tell your friends so they pack it like sardines haha. Anyway, peace word life one love. Cue out.
I am a New Yorker. I like to live at a fast pace, and although I am thankful for some down time, I do find the calmness weird.
I am a 23 year old college history student who likes to go out, workout, make money, read...as long as I am doing something!
I am stuck to my opinions, and if I think you suck, I will say it. I am able to take what I dish out though. Thick skin... that's what Brooklyn did.
I like to think I know myself, but I'm still trying to figure it out.
Some have called me metrosexual, GQ, or even a hipster. I don't feel that any fit, and I do not like the labels. Anyway, you may be the judge.
Oh yeah, BROOKLYN WE GO HARD!
