The Ramble is one of the most renowned spots within Central Park because it gives the feeling of walking through winding trails in Upstate New York while in the busiest city in the world! As one of the most beautiful and vast wooded areas in New York State, this is an idyllic spot for the couple looking for an elopement that combines the excitement of the city with the beauty of nature.
Bow Bridge
