Hike in Central Park
One of the best parts about living at The Sagamore on the Upper East Side is that we have one of the world’s greatest parks right here in our own neighborhood. But did you know that Central Park includes three different woodlands? North Wood, The Ramble and the Hallett Nature Sanctuary are all safe to explore and almost unbelievable in that they are found at the heart of NYC. Learn more about where to hike in Central Park.
Enjoy Instagramable Architecture on 62nd
Of course, one can’t have a vacation without coming back with lots of photos!
Head over to 62nd street, start from Central Park and walk east for some of the most Instagrammable architecture in the city. Take photos with friends, family or your pet and share your memories with your online audiences. We highly recommend checking out the blocks between Park and Lexington avenues where gates woven with icy as well as pastel colors accent the homes and walkways.
