    "Park" is a generous word to describe this little island. It's nice and all, there is a lovely farmer's market sometimes. On a nice day, it's a great place to sit and have a coffee or do some work in an outdoor setting.

    One of the nicest parks in NYC. Located directly across from Lincoln Center, this is tribute to one of the best Opera singers in the world. This lovely little park is a great place to grab a cup of coffee have a seat and do some great people watching on the corner of 66th and Columbus. Thursdays and Saturdays, year round, it’s home to a nice Green Market with local vendors.

    Wedged between Broadway Ave and Columbus Ave in 66th Street, don't expect a quiet setting. Add on top of that some individuals who use this spot for eating or screaming to each other about sharing the few metal chairs and tables. The highlight are the farmers who sell on thr Park both on Tuesday and Saturday mornings.

    Cute little park with seating and tables. All the chairs do not come with comfortable backing.

    This is such a beautiful little oasis in Manhattan. I’ve loved going here to just sit and think or study or chat with friends. It’s really peaceful and away from the street a bit. Plus it’s surrounded by such amazing architecture. Juilliard is such a beautiful school and has some really interesting buildings to looks at. There’s a grassy area (pictured) that is built onto a really cool wavy structure so it feels like rolling hills. Kind of fun. It’s fun to see all the Juilliard students walking around and studying nearby. There are so many talented people around and you get to kind of just take it all in. They have really fun and surprisingly comfortable benches here. They are cement, but contoured in a way that makes them rather comfortable. Very nice.

    This is a very friendly public place. In warm days you can have food there meanwhile wacthing people and cars coming and going. Indeed is a really good space to stay and stare. You can also sometimes have waffle from a cart that every now and then is there.

    Pleasant albeit small neighborhood meeting place. Children's playground, a 'take one, leave one' library box, some benches and a revolutionary war-era cannon. And lots of people walking their dogs.

    Very nice area, friendly, safe, relaxing. There's a great coffee stand in front of ABC studios that I visit every single day and really great team that runs it. Then there's a Moroccan food cart across the street that has delicious food at a reasonable price and fills you up. Friendly team that works there too. My favorite place to visit.

    This is not so much a park, as a good spot for a very nice Farmer's Market on Saturday morning and perhaps other times too?

  • 5/5 Mark S. 1 year ago on Google
    I love the Thursday and Saturday greenmarkets.

  • 5/5 Salli S. 6 years ago on Google • 14 reviews
    A nice setting right across from the Lincoln center. Small park setting with tables, chairs and umbrellas, large flower pots. Great for relaxing, reading, people watching or eating lunch or dinner. It offers an exquisite green market on Thursday and Saturday
