Between its mandarin duck celebrities and relatively trash-less fields, Central Park is the closest thing Manhattan has to a vast, natural expanse. If you’re on your way there, we’re guessing it’s to enjoy the open space or simply to observe Swan Boat drama unfold between tourists. But let’s get one thing straight: you are not going to Central Park to purchase amazing food – even if you love hot dogs as much as we do.
So whenever you’re planning your next picnic or birthday party, stop by one of these park-adjacent restaurants to pick up something great to eat and drink.
