The Mall in Central Park was designed to serve the purpose of a social promenade.

It runs north through Central Park from Transverse Road number 1, is 40 feet wide and lined with American Elms providing a fantastic arch of trees. At the souther end is the 'Literary Walk', celebrating literacy and lined with the busts of many famous writers and poets as a kind of writers walk of fame. The northern end of the Mall finishes at Bethesda Terrace overlooking Bethesda Fountain and The Lake. At the northern end of The Mall is the Naumburg Bandshell and a bust of Ludwig van Beethoven.
