Sunset Park

Description

Though the neighborhood that bears its name has gained fame in recent years for its culinary diversity, this City park hasn't yet been overrun by visitors from far and wide. And residents don't mind keeping the park under the radar, seeing how it offers gorgeous, unobstructed views of the Manhattan skyline made only more breathtaking by the setting sun. The park also has a massive public pool which—take note—attracts big local crowds and long lines in the balmy heat of summer.
