On our way uptown, we stopped at Belvedere Castle, near the center of Central Park. It is a "folly," a fantasy-inspired building meant to provide great views of the park and the city, which it does. Like so much of New York, it deteriorated in the 60's and 70's but has been wonderfully renovated in recent years. Belvedere is constructed of native Manhattan schist, making it appear to be part of the landscape.
