I watch college basketball and sports in general. I'm also a runner. I live on the Upper West Side of Manhattan near Central Park, so I try to squeeze in runs through Central Park when I can.

I love the Park. I like to walk on the East River, too, up at Gracie Square, but Central Park is my favorite part of the city.
When I had my dogs, I used to spend a lot of time in Central Park, which is a great place to be alone among a lot of people.
And the most unusual and surrealistic place in New York City is Central Park.
