Stop on this walk

Uranus

Cop Cot, Central Park

📍 Cop Cot: a small hexagonal wooden shelter on a rise, quiet enough to forget you're in a city if you catch it empty — though it's also a favorite wedding-photo backdrop, with plenty of seating either way. A modest 1.1 inches here.

At true scale: 1.1 in (2.8 cm) across

About this place

Nearly a mile from the clock, and barely an inch across. Uranus is where the walk stops feeling like a walk through midtown and starts feeling like a walk out of it.

Through the park past Sheep Meadow — one of the few places in the city where you can actually lie down in the grass — to Bethesda Terrace for Neptune.
