I finally got out to explore parts of Central Park I have not seen yet. I use to only go down the middle by the reservoir. This time I went north and discovered that there actually is a natural forest in Central Park, with old bridges and waterfalls. I then went shopping for some sports gear so I can start jogging and lifting weights. I had to get home before I could make any purchases, though. I found a cheap gym up in Harlem I am going to go check out. Problem is, its in Harlem, so I really should stay on the main roads to avoid any conflict with the ghettos ("this turf belongs to us, and no one else!"). White guys are not welcome in Harlem. Harlem has developed and become much safer over the last twenty years, and most of the really crazy people have moved further north into Yonkers. But still, best stick to the main streets, and only at daytime.
I went to some health food stores and Thai restaurants to see what was there, and I am happy to report that prices are only about 20% more then back in Upstate New York, so that is not prohibitive.
