There is one place in New York State that is at the top of any list when it comes to the best place to take a selfie, walk a dog or just take a stroll among the fall colors. New York City might be a loud and busy place at most times. However, time slows right down when you enter Central Park in the Autumn months.

The fall is arguably the best time to live in and visit New York State. The weather is generally great. There are hundreds, maybe thousands, of fall-themed activities to see and do and the leaves are second to none when they start to change color. Even though some weather experts claim this year will be a lackluster year for the foliage, New York State remains the fall KING.

But hidden among the treasures in plain sight is the Queen of all parks and places in New York-Central Park!

When was the last time you took the time to visit Central Park in the fall? It’s like being in a virtual postcard when you walk through. The color book of fall is loaded with views from ever angle of the park and the photo gallery below features 12 examples.

When it comes to a gem among the chaos of city life, there is only one choice.

Romantic, scenic, vibrant, alive! These are just a few words that people might use to describe a crisp, sunny afternoon in Central Park. I would agree with all of them.
