"Scenic, check out the entrance to the rock tunnel from this street"

This street is a pleasant tour of Central Park, and it also features a stairwell hidden over by Belvedere Castle that leads to an open-ended cavern and subsequently to a series of four underground transverse roads that were built in the park. The rock tunnel was finished in the late nineteenth century, and this is the only place you can access it.
