Description
The covered walkway of The Dairy within New York City's Central Park.
The Dairy was constructed in 1870; at this time, fresh milk for children was difficult to find and desperately sought after by parents. The Dairy was built at the southern end on the park, originally the children's section, to provide milk and snacks for children in the cool and relaxing atmosphere near the Pond.

Central Park, designated a National Historic Landmark in 1962, is an urban park in New York City�s borough of Manhattan. The park initially opened in 1857 on 778 acres of city-owned land. In 1858, Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux won a design competition to improve and expand the park with a plan to the current 843 acres, which they entitled the Greensward Plan. Construction commenced that same year, continued through the American Civil War, and concluded in 1873. Central Park is the most visited urban park in the United States.

I really like the feeling of standing there and viewing the park thru the openings in the walkway. Fabulous detail in the brick and the interior of the covering!
