Rent a rowboat at the Loeb Boathouse and take turns at the oars on the Central Park Lake. It's $25 an hour Monday to Thursday and $30 Friday to Sunday, per boat, so about $15 each for two.
Boats go out daily from 10am, weather permitting; the last one leaves an hour before dusk. It's first come, first served and cashless, and life jackets come with every boat.
