Who says that you cannot enjoy Central Park in Manhattan, New York City during winter? Surrounded by skyscrapers, the 843 acres (341 ha) park is your oasis in the busy life of New York’s sleepless city. Thousands of people visit the park for its history and the tons of activities it offers, regardless if it is summer or winter.

With zigzagging pathways with trees stripped bare all around, I decided to see Central Park by foot.

Horse-pulled carriages.

I saw others opting to ride the carriages. These carriages can be availed in the park’s entrances.
