The Loeb Boathouse

If you want to rent a boat or go for a ride with a gondola in the lake, The Loeb Boathouse in Central Park is the place to go. Not only that, but the restaurant super famous since you’ve probably seen The Boathouse in movies like When Harry Met Sally or 3 Men and a Little Lady.

The boathouse that we know today was created thanks to the generous donation by businessman Carl M. Loeb and $110,000 from NYC Parks,and was completed in 1954. The restaurant was opened in 1983 after a renovation for around $750,000.

The Loeb Boathouse is popular among birdwatchers. There’s even a notebook in the restaurant that allows enthusiasts to note their sightings.
