  Its north of midtown.
context: I don't think anyone is kidding themselves. We all know it's cool because it's in the middle of one of the biggest cities in the world and surrounded by a concrete jungle.
  I think we all know this, and just love it for that. >
  
  true, but all of New York City if full of rats, in a city where there’s hardly any large public parks it’s kind of a place to get away within the city if that makes sense. But I could totally see where you’re coming from. >
  
  Yep, it’s a park in the city. The size of it is impressive, but it’s nothing more than a slice of nature in a big city. 
  Go hiking in the woods and you’ll get the same experience. Minus the rats. >
  
  There are most definitely rats in the woods along with tons of other animals that some consider "vermin". >
  
  I don’t know where you hike if you encounter the same amount of rats in the woods as you do in NYC lol >
  
  You won't see them but trust me they're all around you. Whenever a bunch of trees get torn down for a construction project thousands upon thousands of them flee towards neighboring areas and may crawl their way into your house. >
  
  Places like central park are great for the locals since it's like the only green space they have access to. But going out of your way to seek out central Park as a tourist seems a little odd to me so I guess I kinda agree. >

  Which is sad beyond belief.  But I also hate the thought of living in a city. >
  
  I don’t think it’s a wonder of the world or anything but it’s a nice place to take a walk, most of the great museums are there, good street food but it’s not like if you never visit your life isn’t complete. There’s also a decent amount of stuff to do that people sometimes don’t know about. Bikes are really cheap to rent, you can fish, there’s the zoo, a few good playgrounds for kids but yea it’s a park
  I feel like it’s more something for people who live there. There’s basically just central park and Washington square in terms of green spaces for people living in Manhattan
