Central Park Mall

The mall was originally designed to be the formal centerpiece of Central Park where the well-to-do would promenade on summer afternoons. The southern end of the mall is lined with statues of Shakespeare, Robert Brown, Sir Walter Scott, and Fitz-Greene Halleck, an all-but-forgotten nineteenth century poet. It is subsquently known as the Literary Walk.
