Who we are

At Central Park Picnic Service, we’ve been picnicking in Central Park for over 15 years. The Upper West Side is our home and Central Park is one of our favorite things about living in New York. It’s our backyard! We visit the park almost daily and love to share our insider secrets with visitors. Check out our What’s Poppin’ page, which includes our weekly flora (and sometimes fauna) updates. We aim to help you get the most out of your NYC picnic by taking the stress and schlepping out, so you can relax, connect, and enjoy your people.

Parks are not just places to go for a walk or have a picnic; they are places of healing and renewal.
