Day 4 (April 23, 2016): Central Park and other delights

This rat kept us company as we waited for a subway train. The train whooshed into the station, about two inches from him as he walked along the platform edge, and he didn't even wince!

Central Park was in splendid spring bloom mode! Tulips and flowering trees were everywhere. 

In honour of John Lennon, who was shot near this western edge of Central Park. 

A caleche in Central Park. 

Simply called "The Lake" in the mid-western section of Central Park. 

The kids had fun with the topography in the Park. 

The Alice in Wonderland statue in Central Park. 

A so-called ‘Victorian folly,’ Belvedere Castle in Central Park is a Gothic-Romanesque castle serving no other purpose than to
 be a very dramatic lookout point.

Grand foyer of the American Museum of Natural History.

We basically took over an entire Starbucks cafe on Ninth and 78th. 

A typical street of row housing in Central Park West. 

Is this not the most bizarre and beautiful sign of spring you've ever seen?! A resident of the apartment building where we saw this told us it was "Chinese Red Budt". 

The Hershey Store in Times Square: three floors of M&Ms and other chocolate delights. 

While everyone else took in "Finding Neverland" on Broadway, Ken and I went to south Manhatten and walked to the midway point of the Brooklyn Bridge. 

The Brooklyn Bridge at dusk, with the Freedom Tower dominating the skyline of the Financial District.
