The most recent addition for dining to the
grounds of Central Park are two
ornamental kiosks located at Merchants’
Gate,
one of the busiest entrance’s to Central Park.
Constructed in Italy, these dark green
Victorian styled cast-iron food kiosks are
run by Ferrara, an old Italian restaurant
founded in 1892 and situated in lower
Manhattan. Known for their incredibly
delicious cakes and pastries, these concession
stands will offer the same Ferrara fare along
with breakfast, lunch and light dinners.
Green tables and chairs are available for
patrons who decide to dine here.
Open from March through October and
when the weather is permitting, these
cafés have much to offer. They are an
ideal location to grab a foccacia sandwich,
a crepe or tasty dessert with Italian coffee
and enjoy a favorite pastime, people watching.
