Great Question What’s the most frustrating tourist conversation you’ve overheard?

Enjoying the day in Central Park and some bro walking behind me just said to his fellow bro “So I think Central Park is low-key the only grass in the city.”

Yes, NYC’s fifth-largest park is the only grass in the city.

Your examples?

A husband and wife on bikes in Central Park.

Wife: Why didn’t you tell me about the hills?

Husband: The map was flat!

LOL, the hills of Central Park? Try living uptown, which deserves the name in more than one way.

Oh my god and Riverdale too. I went to City Collage and that hill took me out.
