NYC - Central Park: Loeb Boathouse Cafe
Made by wallyg
With their 1858 landscaping plan under construction, Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux began adding architectural features to their Park design. Around 1874, Vaux designed a two-story boathouse at the eastern end of . Visitors could purchase refreshments, take boat rides, and watch other boats. When this wooden Victorian structure with sloping mansard roof burned down, the current Loeb Boathouse took its place in the 1950s. Visitors can enjoy a meal in any season, with overhead heating helping to extend as long as possible the pleasure of dining on the deck overlooking the Lake. More informal snacks are available on the outside terrace across from the bicycle rental concession. At Loeb you can also rent rowboats and bicycles or take a ride in an authentic Venetian gondola. Central Park was designated a scenic landmark by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission in 1974. National Historic Register #66000538
