Museo Americano de Historia Natural
¡Aquí vamos! Para empezar, tenemos uno de los museos más impresionantes del planeta: el Museo Americano de Historia Natural. Fundado en 1869, alberga más de treinta millones de especímenes, desde fósiles antiquísimos y meteoritos hasta esqueletos de dinosaurios gigantescos que se alzan imponentes sobre nuestras cabezas. Dentro, descubrirán el Planetario Hayden, la Sala de la Vida Oceánica con su ballena azul a tamaño real, y dioramas completos que transportan a los visitantes por todo el mundo y a través del tiempo. Si alguna vez vieron "Una Noche en el Museo" con Ben Stiller, ¡este es el lugar donde todo cobró vida... literalmente!

Mientras seguimos hacia el sur por Central Park West, fíjense en los elegantes edificios de antes de la guerra que bordean el parque. Estas imponentes fachadas han sido el hogar de escritores, músicos y estrellas de cine por más de un siglo. Justo adelante, en la esquina de la Calle 72, se alza una de las residencias más famosas y con más historia de Nueva York: El Dakota.

El Dakota
El Dakota es un ícono de la arquitectura neoyorquina. Terminado en 1884, fue uno de los primeros edificios de apartamentos de lujo de la ciudad — y todavía se siente como un castillo que se alza sobre Central Park West. Su residente más famoso fue John Lennon de The Beatles, quien vivió aquí con Yoko Ono. La entrada por la que pasamos ahora es donde Lennon fue trágicamente asesinado en 1980. Al otro lado de la calle, dentro de Central Park, encontrarán Strawberry Fields — el tranquilo memorial dedicado a su vida y música.

Solo unas pocas cuadras al sur, verán otro punto de referencia para los fans del cine. En el 55 de Central Park West se alza el edificio que se hizo mundialmente famoso por la película de 1984, Ghostbusters. Estén atentos mientras nos acercamos — lo reconocerán de inmediato.
