Gabriela MuñozJuly 19, 2016This used to be one of Kurt Vonnegut's favorite places in the city -he lived around the corner on 48th St. He walked his dog Flour here and his widow marked his favorite bench.
IWalked Audio ToursJanuary 19, 2012Dag Hammarskjold Plaza is the largest public garden on the east side of Midtown. Check out the Katharine Hepburn Garden (who formerly lived nearby). The garden bench was a gift from her estate.
Hot Bread KitchenJanuary 17, 2012This plaza is actually a 1.5 acre park that occupies the entire south side block between First and Second Avenues on East 47th St. Check out the Greenmarket here every Wednesday, weather permitting.
CompassMay 16, 2014Walk along this brick-lined area complete with funky gold and silver human-shaped sculptures.
Mike BloombergAugust 8, 2013On 8/6/13, I was here to speak at the joint Midtown South/17th NYPD Precinct National Night Out Against Crime.
Mike MalulAugust 17, 2011This block-long public space leading to the United Nations traditionally served as a staging area for demonstrations.- Farmers' market on Wednesdays. Apple cider donuts from the rugelach people. Greasy, sugary, amazing.
Nice open area in mid-east to walk the dog and meet other dog owners!
They have cute little street and flea markets some days
Come early and watch the birds and homeless bathe in the fountain!
There's a waterfall. Is turned off though perhaps for the cold season
With the elevators here, he who hesitates is NOT lost - empty elevators tend to appear just when one fills up

"One of the most well known parks in the world, but despite all the hype, it's still just a park. It's a great one though! lots to do and see and just beautiful for walks. Try some dipping dots."
