SUMMER IN THE CITY SERIES

New York City on a hot summer day is a thing to behold. Subway platforms are hot, some subway cars are not air conditioned, tempers often run short and testosterone starts flowing in abundance. It's seemingly impossible to escape the steady noise of the street.

But then as you step into Central Park (sometimes referred to as Grand Park), everything changes. The noise subsides, people are relaxed, shade and water are plentiful, great scenery abounds....

On one side of the street, people are moving 100 mph and just 100 feet into the park, you experience a pastoral setting. Summer in the greatest city in America.
