The park was pretty packed, but we managed to find a nice area off to the side of the Sheep's Meadow.

I was sitting on the blanket, and a giant bug fell out of the tree above me and landed right in front of me. He doesn't look all that terrifying / interesting from this angle...

Central Park had a lot of soothing plants and nature, so coming out onto the square lines and concrete of Fifth Avenue on a Saturday evening was a little terrifying.

    though I only glanced at it, I think that bug is a cicada. And I am deathly afraid of cicadas!
