If you don't
do well with maps, don't worry. You will meet other people while you're
wandering in the park. New Yorkers are mostly friendly. Ask one of them how
to get to the Delacorte Theater. The bench is on the path across from the
ticket booth, near the drinking fountain.
Oh, if one of those New Yorkers is tall, wearing a black cloak and a hood
that hides his face,
with a voice to kill for... forget the bench and follow him.
