A still stunning space, harking back to the 1990s NYC that had fantastic, tasteful boutiques.

When I have a bit of money I like to go there with friends to celebrate our happiness and miseries.

Since September this year, the very best place to hear an authentic voice, keeping Wall Street sharp.

Just by sitting on a bench and drinking a coffee in the park, I can be entertained by so many performers and some crazy people.

In 1963, the Italian-born sculptor Costantino Nivola filled a playground that covers an entire city block with avant-garde abstractions. In the middle of an Upper Manhattan housing project, there are cuboid cutouts sculpted in cement, a fountain made with two diamond-shaped boulders, concrete play horses, and a sand-casted relief carved high into a wall. In the northeast corner, a matriarchal figure known as “The Nanny” rises from the ground. The artist’s sculptures were built in an era when urban development incorporated art in its effort to uplift communities and express democratic ideals. “A work designed for a public space is less a work of art than a civic act,” Nivola once said. “It concerns the ways in which we live together, and in which we influence each other.”
