Greenacre Park 217 East 51st Street, Manhattan, New York 10022

"My husband and I got engaged here in 2021 and it’s a beautiful little park nestled in the heart of NYC. It’s quiet and has some seating and had a little stand at the time that served drinks and light food. It’s a beautiful park with a wonderful waterfall! (Excuse our awkward engagement photos haha)"

"very peaceful and relaxing. the waterfall is serene and very beautiful there are chairs set up and there's also a little mini cafe... case you want a quick bite a little oasis in the middle of a busy city."

"Such an amazing little gem in the city. I love coming here and it feels like a little secret place that only locals know about, which I love. It's never too packed either, and the waterfall is really beautiful. Perfect place to read or just chill during your lunch break or after work."

"What a fabulous find! This is the greatest retreat, when you wish to get away from the craziness of the city, but still remain the city.This is a fantastic place to read, have lunch, meet up with someone, or visit solo and just take in the relaxing sounds of the waterfall. It completely drowns out the usual noise of Manhattan. You immediately become relaxed when visiting. I suggest if you wish to eat, bring food from surrounding area restaurants there is a small kiosk that sells food and beverages , and while the beverages were fine. I wasn't crazy about the food. Also keep in mind there are no restrooms on-site, But i've been told some of the surrounding businesses will allow you to use theirs."

"I could spend the whole day here and have a fantastic time! The manmade falls and greenery create a wonderfully relaxing atmosphere. It's such a nice surprise to find a place like this open to the public in the middle of the concrete jungle."
