72nd street crosstown

If you're coming from E. 72nd street, you'll soon come to this fork in the road. Take the center road to get to Bethesda Fountain and the Mall, or make a right (and then take a path that veers right) to get to the Conservatory Water and Alice in Wonderland.

If you take the left drive in the top photo for about a block, you'll see this Mother Goose sculpture.

This Pilgrim statue near the fork in the road's north side is close to Fifth Ave.

The Conservatory Water is just north of 72nd Street off Fifth Avenue. It's about two blocks from Bethesda Fountain. Let's head down the hill.
