Central Park

The Boathouse
on Park Drive North on The Lake

Held in the Loeb Boathouse on the Lake, the Boathouse includes a sit-down restaurant with tables overlooking the lake, a sit down bar area outside, and an express cafe with counter service for quick takeout and eat-in food.

Leaping Frog Cafe
at the Central Park Zoo

Counter service and seating areas are available both from inside as well as outside the zoo.

Central Park is dotted with vendors all over. A quick hotdog, pretzel, soda, or ice cream is always available. There are several cafes in the park but, because there are no street addresses, you may have trouble finding them. Many of the cafes are seasonal and operate from about early April to late October. Most of them serve burgers including veggie ones, sandwiches, coffee/tea and cold drinks. Cafes are located on 65th Street at the northern end of the ball fields near the carousel, at the Conservatory Pond near the Alice in Wonderland statue approx. 73rd Street, on the east side of the park, at the northern end of the Sheep Meadow west side of the park at approx. 69th Street, and in the North Meadow approx. 100 Street.
