97th St Transverse, Central Park

I read the review about 97th street proper and I agree, many of these streets tend to blend together after a while. Almost every street in the city is a combination of apartment building with stores beneath it! 97th transvers is just a bit different than its entirely urban counterpart. This street enters Central Park on the northern end near the massive lake. I once visited the mid-town lake thinking that is was quite large, especially for being in such a big city. Enter on 87th transverse and look at this lake, it is simply flabbergasting how such a big body of water could exist in such a dense city. Use this access road to go ice skating in the winter or to go to ball fields in the summer. Busy New Yorkers can also use this road to cross between the east and west sides.

97th Street wasn’t really worth visiting, and though the streets in the neighborhood tend to blend together, this one set apart. There was a lot of garbage and noise on this street, and I didn’t find any of the businesses or services to be worth remarking about. Really, this street is meant for the people who live there and I wouldn’t consider it on a move to the city.
