Depending on the route we take, highlights may include the statues of Alice in Wonderland and Hans Christian Andersen, and Strawberry Fields. This section of the park is dedicated to the memory of John Lennon, and here you can sit and enjoy the Imagine mosaic beneath the shade of American elms. The world-famous singer, songwriter and peace activist was murdered outside his apartment in the Dakota building, opposite the park.
We'll stop for a break at the park's Boathouse Restaurant, where you can take in lovely views over the lake as you enjoy something to eat or drink. Next we'll pass through the entrance to Central Park Zoo, where if we time it just right we'll see the sea lions at feeding time and the Delacorte Musical Clock in action at noon!
We then leave the park and head out on to Fifth Avenue, the world's most expensive shopping street.

A whole host of other attractions are within reach, such as MOMA - the Museum of Modern Art - and the Rockefeller Center, just ask your Holiday Director to point you in the right direction.

thoroughly enjoyed the experience of making the short trip to NY with JY because I was given the opportunity to see all the main places which were of interest to me. It was good to be amongst like-minded people who were keen to share the experience with others. I would certainly recommend the tour to anyone who wishes to gain an overall impression of what New York is like. I left the city with a far more positive opinion than that of friends who have already travelled to the area either independently or with other travel companies. JY gave good value for money and the hotel was ideally situated for getting around.
