View from the Central Park Reservoir

There is a walking path around the Central Park Reservoir. Originally constructed for the parks department employees it is has become a popular walking and running trail.

The path itself is fairly ordinary, it is the views of the buildings which surround the park which make it special. You have a unique opportunity to compare the architecture of the upper east and west sides.

My preference? Definitely the upper west side. This was one of my favorite views.
