Bow Bridge

Amazing Views



Address:
74th St
(Central Park)
New York, NY 10019

Description

This famous bridge was built using cast-iron instead of stone to cut down on costs. However, the frugal act paid off, and the Bow Bridge is considered one of the best of its kind. It is a staple attraction of Central Park. The views from the bridge, which spans the two sections of the lake, are amazing and not to be missed.
