Literary Walk
Central Park
New York City, New York
Located in the middle of Central Park (Mid-Park and 72nd street) you will find a garden of authors, known as literary walk includes sculptures of the following people you may find heavenly to pass by on a nice day outdoors.
William Shakespeare
Sir Walter Scott
Robert Burns
Christopher Columbus
Victor Herbert
Ludwig van Beethoven
The mall runs from 66th to 72nd streets.
For those who may find themselves in England and yearning for more book worm culture I suggest Pavement Pounders.
Currently there are three guided walks:
Coleridge & Highgate
Romantics in Hampstead
Hampstead Between the Wars
and one in preparation
Fitzrovia, a Region of the Mind
And lastly but certainly not least this site seems to be the ultimate in pay dirt for literary travels
