Recent Yorkers proceed to honor legendary crooner Tony Bennett in one among his favorite city spots.
Notes and flowers appeared Saturday on the Central Park bench that bears the name of Bennett, who died Friday at age 96.
The park’s iconic carriage drivers left a touching note on the perch, barely tweaking the lyrics to his 1953 song “Please Driver (Once Across the Park Again),” to read: “Please, Tony, once across the park again…We are able to’t consider you’re gone…”
“RIP, Central Park icon, Tony Bennett,” they wrote.
Tourists were seen taking pictures of the multiple bouquets and note on the bench, which is positioned on Center Drive near Central Park South and Sixth Avenue.
The jazz singer often visited the park and was seen within the later years of his life being pushed around the attractive greenery in a wheelchair.
The Astoria native lived on Central Park South for 25 years.
He also would sit within the park and paint his favorite spot in watercolor.
“I actually have many spots I like across the park,” he told the Recent York Times in 2015. “I all the time paint nature. Nature is the boss.”
The Grammy winner said on the time that the park inspired his art, and he sketched or painted around 800 different scenes from it, from men rowing boats to taxis driving within the rain.
He would normally go to Central Park early within the morning to avoid any detection or would meet up with other friends who liked to color.
“I live in town, but after I enter the park I’m within the forest,” he told the outlet.
Bennett often painted as a toddler and even learned it in highschool on the High School of Industrial Arts on the Upper East Side. Throughout highschool, he would paint Central Park for homework assignments, the Times reported.
Several high-profile Recent Yorkers remembered the singer on Friday.
“A working-class kid from Queens, Tony Bennett, sang our song to the world. Don’t let the lyrics idiot you – he left his heart right here in Recent York City. May he rest in peace,” Mayor Eric Adams tweeted.
“I’ll all the time be pleased about his outstanding contribution to the art of up to date music. He was a joy to work with. His energy and enthusiasm for the fabric he was performing was infectious,” Long Island native Billy Joel wrote on social media with several photos of the 2 working together.
“He was also one among the nicest human beings I’ve ever known.”
Bennett was an everyday on the Brooklyn Diner on West 57th, across the corner from his Manhattan home.
“He was the sweetest, nicest guy you’d ever need to socially spend a few hours with. There couldn’t be a nicer Recent York form of a man,” the restaurant’s owner Shelly Fireman told The Post.
“It’s sad for America; it’s sad for Recent York and we’re going to miss him loads.”
Gerard Renny, who owned Lucky’s Bar and Grill on 57th Street and Sixth Avenue, one other of Bennett’s neighborhood haunts, bought one among the singer’s works — a Las Vegas cityscape — for his then-pregnant wife.
“When he discovered I purchased that, at some point I show up and my manager hands me an envelope and it’s an autographed photo thanking me and wishing me all the very best for the child.”
