This is a small museum that celebrates some of the major milestones of Carnegie Hall. Look for the trowel that Andrew Carnegie used to ceremonially lay the first brick. The museum is before a small retail shop that contains a number of items for purchase. Access to the museum is through a doorway adjacent to the main entrance.

This is a small park with a cafe. It is a welcome relief in a concrete jungle. Good place to stop and people watch or read a newspaper. Wheelchair accessible and pram friendly. Proximate to public transport. Near Central Park to North.

An outstanding item of engineering with finely cut rock interlocking to form an arch. It is well worthwhile planning a walking tour of Central Park that includes a journey under this arch.

Loved the statues - particularly the one of Shakespeare. This is one of the nicest avenues in Central Park with good access to the bandstand and the fountain. It seems a good place to stop and read a novel.

Is this the cleanest subway station on the whole network? Trains on the 1 typically arrive near empty on their uptown run as there is only one prior station. That was handy for us as we stayed on through to 79th and had seats throughout.
