Did you know you can rent a rowboat in Central Park for just $20? Magnolia season is in full swing—and while the blooms are beautiful, the crowds can be… a lot. If you’re craving a little peace and a perfect view, head to the Loeb Boathouse and take to the water. From the lake, you get stunning, crowd-free views of the blossoms and the city skyline—plus, it’s just a fun excuse to row your way into spring. Here’s how it works: 1. Go to the Boathouse (east side of the park near 74th Street) 2. Sign a quick waiver 3. Pay $20 - card 4. Hop in and row away (for an hour) Pro tip: Go early for the best light and fewer people. You’ll thank yourself.
