where to see blossoms in nyc

Spring has sprung!! Here are my favorite spots to see the blossoms in NYC 🌸

Gantry Plaza State Park is in bloom now and creates the perfect ring around the grass. I love having picnics here with the view of the Manhattan skyline.

Roosevelt Island has different cherry trees so bloom will last until April! I love going for quiet walks here when the flowers are falling.

Central Park has tons of spots but I love Cherry Hill, I literally feel like I am in a movie when the blossoms bloom here.
