NYC Guide: Sunrises in Central Park

I’ve learned how to become a morning person. When I had a fractured elbow I would go for long walks in the park every morning before work. I had the opportunity to witness some gorgeous sunrises in Central Park. Here are a few of my favorite photos of sunrises in Central Park and a few of my favorite quotes about NYC.

“There is something in the New York air that makes sleep useless.”  -Simone Beauvoir

“At night… the streets become rhythmical perspectives of glowing dotted lines, reflections hung upon them in the streets as the wistaria hangs its violet racemes on its trellis. The buildings are shimmering verticality, a gossamer veil, a festive scene-prop hanging there against the black sky to dazzle, entertain, amaze.” -Frank Lloyd Wright
