3.0

This is a sweet anthology of memories, stories, explorations, and fantasies in Central Park. I especially liked the one about hidden things (Wilkinson), and of walking through the park at night (Buford) and of birdwatching (Knowler), and of the zoo (Dolnick). A lot of them sort of romanticized the grittier days of high danger in central park, which felt weird.
