Reviews of Gapstow Bridge
"Brings back many memories of Home Alone 2. It’s a place of reflection of one’s childhood. Take out your phone cameras last. First look around and absorb everything. Look at the plaza hotel. Look at the surrounding buildings. Look at the nature that’s around. The place is best experienced in the winter when the film depicts the location. But really, any season works."
"If you wanna get a view of The Plaza and Fifth Avenue as seen on Home Alone 2, then this is the place to be. There’s an entrance to the park right opposite the street from the hotel and the Gapstow Bridge is a 5-7 minute walk from there."
"Beautiful spot in Central Park to enjoy beautiful views of the city and park. Every time we go to the city I have to explore another park in the park. It is absolutely beautiful. Lots of walking trails, rocks to climb, and beautiful lawn to sit and relax on. There was an ice skating ring when we were there this time. It was beautiful and not far from the Gapstow bridge."
