United States
Bright & revamped. Watch the world go by while having a drink or a meal in one of the many bars around the main hall. Idling away the hours you inevitably end up chatting to those passing through - celebrate their new jobs, commiserate that they've missed their train - and enjoy sharing their lives.
It is the best place for completely chilling out and people watching. I've been there in the summer and in the fall and both those times of year it is beautiful. I would now love to see it in covered in snow. It's a great place to sit with a book or your journal on a sunny day and it's a great place just to wander around and watch people rollerblading and seeing some of the strangest buskers I have ever seen. You forget you are in the city, but there are some fantastic views of the skyscrapers of New York from the park reminding you that, as peaceful as it is, you are still in one of the busiest cities in the world. Check out the fantastic view from the Wollman Ice Rink. It is very easy to lose yourself for an entire day just chilling out in Central Park.
