Take a stroll through history with “Central Park Then and Now®”! This book pairs old and new photos of Central Park, showcasing its 150-year journey from top hats to tie-dye.
Explore the park’s 843 acres of New York magic, from the 1920s nightclub scene to John Lennon’s 1980 vigil. Walk through the elegant Fifth Avenue entrance, past the Zoo, Bethesda Fountain, and the Met, all the way up to Harlem and back down the Upper West Side.
Discover hidden gems like the rustic Ramble, the glittering Tavern on the Green, and even a Thanksgiving Day Parade from over 50 years ago. With rare archival images and fresh photos, this book is a time machine to New York’s vibrant past.
Don’t forget to swing by the Museum of the City of New York, right across from Central Park, for even more historic vibes!
