Stephen WepplerSeptember 8, 2013Great place to sit, relax and take in locals playing various table games, kill time while waiting to get into the 9/11 Memorial, lots of street meat and ice cream nearby!
Angel Hana A.December 29, 2012Decorated with beautiful white lights during the holidays. The park is also illuminated with lights built into the ground.
Jeffrey ZeldmanDecember 28, 2015Depressing little grassless "park," best known as launch site of Occupy Wall Street, becomes bearable in December owing to sparking holiday lights.
Probably best known for the Occupy Wall Street protests. Good spot to people watch. Situated by plenty of subway stations.
Grab some halal food and chill. Make sure to check above you before you start eating, The pigeons are hecka aggressive and you don't want them taking a boo boo on your head.
WillieScrapesFebruary 21, 2012Sam's Falafel, the best tasting and most affordable sandwich in NYC. Sit and eat on obsocky terrace seats and watch Lower Manhattan pass by under the shadow of the once and future World Trade Center.
Hunter TauFebruary 2, 2012The place is honestly a let down (even during the OWS raid, trust me I was there) but you have to go to say to your non NYC friends that you've been.

jiresellNovember 24, 2016Needs to be a bit greened up, but a nice place to sit and grab a bite to eat.
A lunch and reading oasis in the financial district. Not very green but lots of seating.

Caught the guy mopping the tables with a old used mop. Makes you think twice about eating or resting on it.
Good breeze here and in front of Brown Brothers (benches) allowing for a chance to beat the heat.
