We laugh in the face anyone who suggests that another urban park is quite as perfect at this acre oasis. The bucolic beauty of Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux's gorgeous 19th century design—the lake, the trees, the gardens, the winding paths that give way to bridges—deserves days of exploration.

Also, did we mention Hamilton , because Broadway has the room where that happens.
Complain all you want about artists not being able to afford Manhattan anymore, but NYC is where they want their work to end up. Louis C. Remember: that might be a future Saturday Night Live cast member on a rough night. While some of the options can literally be found nowhere else in the country, other indie flicks start with tiny releases and pick up steam with wider releases after their success in these theaters.
Whatever your style, budget and lifestyle fashion needs, Manhattan not only has you covered, but offers endless convenience. Hell, yeah! While it might not be as convenient as finding someone in your neighborhood, meeting up after work for drinks is as good a place as any to find romance.
