    There is nothing quite as beautiful, as uplifting, as exciting as Central Park during that first perfect Saturday of spring. The entire city spills into the park, each person bringing along with them friends, children, hula hoops, balls, frisbees, wine, cheese, blankets, and cameras. Cherry blossom petals float through the air while magnolias as large as birds fall to the ground. The experience is truly breathtaking, offering New Yorkers the rare opportunity to enjoy a natural high. It is one of the only times of the year when it feels as if every single person in New York City is smiling.
