New York City's great parks are part of its everyday culture. Central Park is a destination in its own right, offering extensive paths and landmarks between neighborhoods.
Bryant Park gives you a much smaller Midtown stop, while the High Line is an elevated public park on the west side. Think of these as three distinct walkable experiences rather than trying to see every part of Manhattan in one day.
