All the years I lived in Manhattan, I never even noticed "my gate" at the entrance of Central Park South. "Artist's Gate" sculpted in stone caught my attention. It is true that as a tourist, one does see more of the city. Did you know that there are twenty-two gates with various professions that have been carved at various entrances? What gate would call your attention and what would it say about you?
No, I didn't know that!
ReplyDeleteLovely! You must enter through that gate from now on!
Pamela,
ReplyDeleteI shall enter through that gate as long as you come with me so we can find your gate!
Edward too.

I think I would choose the same as you. I just told my husband that we need to plan a long weekend in NYC... it's been too long.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know this either! Hmmm.... My gate would say "Welcome my friend". It pretty much say it all.
ReplyDeleteHave a golden weekend! xoxo
P.S. My box arrived!!
I didn't know that! I love it though. Oh- and tried to comment on the Central Park window view, but my Microsoft computer does not like Blogger. :( (no issues on the Mac). Headed to NYC next week and am so excited to be in the city again- even as a tourist.
ReplyDeleteDebra,
ReplyDeleteNo place finer than the city in the Fall or during the Holidaze! Love to meet ya and the Mr.

Look at that! How cool. I wonder if there is a writer's gate? I bet there is:)
ReplyDeleteI've often seen the Artist's Gate as my in-laws live across the street on Fifth but didn't know there were others until now. I would use either the Scholar's Gate at Grand Army Plaza(life is full of lessons) or the Women's Gate at W. 72nd ('cause girls rock!)
ReplyDeleteKwana,
ReplyDeleteYes, a Writer's Gate would make a perfect entrance for you my dear!

Diane James Home -
Yes, "Ladies" need a gate and Gentleman too-
with flowers, corsages and lapels decked with tiny flowers....

Mine would say "Sunbathing Gate"...XXOO
ReplyDeleteCertainly the artist's gate, an inspiration gate, sculptors gate, etc. No I did not have a clue these were at the park!
ReplyDeleteI am through that gate in a heartbeat!
ReplyDeleteLove those discoveries in my big city!
Thanks for finding it, I had not seen it wth open eyes before!
What a fabulous detail to notice Patricia. I wonder how many New Yorkers missed that. You need to do a pic in front of your gate. I don't suppose thereis one that says gift wrapper? LOL! Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteI think I too would gravitate toward the Artists Gate. I would love to see the Children's Gate.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it fabulous!
ReplyDeleteIt was there all the time for you!
xo xo
never knew that!
ReplyDeleteI would love to enter through the "mother's gate" and see my children skip through the "children's gate" beside...
ReplyDeleteWow! Up until 10 yrs ago I lived in Manhattan my entire life and I never knew there were 20 gates & that all were named. However, I do remember that the gate right across from my apt was named Mariners Gate but I'm only the captain of my soul.
