Central Park

Having a happy hour/weekend brunch/early morning picnic in Central Park is heaven. :) Whether you live here or are vacationing, take time to enjoy this green oasis. If you are traveling and can not pack a picnic, grab a bagette, cheese and fuit from a bodega (or Whole Foods at Columbus Circle!) and a bottle of wine (also good for after work if you are in a hurry). Then find a spot in Sheep's Meadow or just south of the Met (Metropolitan Museum of Art) and sit for hours absorbing the city and the unusually slow pace... {le sigh}
