Schnelle Fakten: Jährlich besuchen mehr als 5 Millionen Menschen diesen Ort, angezogen von seiner weitläufigen Freiluft-Arkade und den kunstvollen Schnitzereien. Der Brunnen zeigt die Statue des „Angel of the Waters“, die den Croton-Aquädukt ehrt, das erste Frischwassersystem der Stadt New York.
Highlights: Die Decke der Arkade besteht aus fast 15.000 handverlegten Enkaustikfliesen, von denen jede durch komplizierte Muster eine Geschichte erzählt. Wer genau hinhört, kann das beruhigende Plätschern des Wassers durch die geschichteten Bögen der Terrasse hören.
Insidertipps
- Wear comfortable shoes for walking the uneven stone floors and steps.
- Capture reflections in the fountain from the southern edge for unique photos.
- Visit on weekdays to avoid heavy weekend crowds.
- Allow time to sit and absorb the peaceful ambiance near the water.
