Literary Walk – Poet’s Walk

I cannot think of a better way to spend an hour than the Poet’s Walk, often called the Literary Walk in New York’s famed Central Park, the first landscaped park in the United States. Contrary to an earlier review, The Poet’s Walk is not located on the upper west side; it is located on the southern end of the Central Park Mall and runs from 66^th to 72^nd Street. Simply stated, this place is magnificent and one of the most photographed areas of New York City. It is tranquil even when crowded, historic, and energetic and a place deserving of the respect that it receives from tourists. It is impossible to exit this part of the park less intelligent than when you entered.
As you stroll down the walk, hopefully with a Sabrett (a $ 2.00 hot dog purchased from a hotdog cart) or pretzel (with mustard) you will pass statutes of William Shakespeare, the great poet Johann C.F. von Schiller (the first statute placed in the park), Robert Burns, Sir Walter Scott, Christopher Columbus, and Ludwig Von Beethoven
This place is amazing. You can sit on a bench and watch people pass by, look at the amazing trees including Royal Paulownias, and huge American Elms which form a canopy, read a book or watch some of the famed street performers. This place is great!

Love walkway through central park lined with trees and monuments to great poets of society. There path is very wide, with ample park benches lining it to stop and think or write yourself should you be so inspired. Plenty of grassy areas as well (this is Central Park after all!) Nice stroll for locals and tourists alike.
