Literary Walk is the southern end of a section in New York City's Central Park called the Mall. Extending between 66th and 72nd Streets, the Mall is an area of the park specifically set aside by its designers as a place where modern sculptures would not interfere with the park's natural aesthetic. Here stands a statuary of several literary and historic figures such as William Shakespeare, Christopher Columbus and Ludwig van Beethoven. “TO THE JOYFUL LIFE OFJIM HENSONWHO LOVED THIS WALK IN THE PARK”
