Central Park West is perhaps the ultimate location for those seeking breathtaking views, grand residences, and architectural masterworks in NYC. For more than a century, the neighborhood's iconic buildings have occupied the province of elite circles. From celebrated actors, musicians, and writers to business and media tycoons, the rich and famous have flocked to these prestigious addresses. On a snowy winter day such as this, who wouldn't want to curl up next to a fireplace with dreamy views of the park out your window? Or for the adventurous, frolic in the park's 848 acres of open space that turns into a winter wonderland with its two ice skating rinks and several sled-friendly slopes (such as Cedar Hill today below).
