Stepping from the noisy streets of Midtown Manhattan into the meandering pathways of Central Park can be an uplifting experience at any time of year. Do so in late October or early November when fall color is at its peak and the effect will be positively exhilarating. The park harbors thousands of deciduous trees that change with the seasons, and the naturalistic topography conceived by legendary landscape architect Frederick Law Olmstead is tailor-made for aimless wandering — particularly on crisp autumn afternoons when Manhattan is at its bright, sunny best.
