    Central Park celebrity audio tours

    Posted in Own This City by Sharon Steel on June 23rd, 2009 at 5:39 pm

    audio-tours-mapYou won’t have to wait for a meteor shower to get “starstruck” in Central Park. Starting today, visitors can enjoy free audio tours by some of NYC’s biggest VIPs. Small green signs throughout the green space provide a phone number and code for voiceover narrations by more than 35 celebs.

    Let Whoopi Goldberg, Jerry Seinfeld and Sarah Jessica Parker school you on the history behind some of their favorite park sites, ranging from the Reservoir to Bethesda Fountain. The two- to three-minute audio tours are given directly on visitors’ cell phones, eliminating the need for ghastly tourist-branding guide devices. Tour guide Martha Stewart would agree, it’s definitely a good thing. View the complete list of people and places at centralparknyc.org/audio.—Pearly Huang
