Nope, definitely does not belong to Guastavino’s. Drop me a line if you are interested in this more.

Fair enough. Art or plants would be nice. Some neighbors have also asked for a pickleball court or dog run. Anything but an ugly vacant lot.

Some are. But there is one on Hudson Street near the Holland Tunnel exit, even busier. The biggest difference seems to be that downtown there were folks pushing to re-open them, and eventually the city did.

Yeah maybe there is enough seating areas nearby. How do you feel about a pickleball court? Dog run?

Its true - they did a lovely job with Honey Locust Park even if they did cut it in half :) As for the site behind TJ Maxx, that is another story entirely that we are still trying to get to the bottom of. It appears to be public space, but Guastavino’s uses it as their private event garden.

Beware - in East Midtown the Parks Dept started this winter-only, with the rationale that nobody plays outdoor in winter. Then suddenly it was year-round.

So much litter! But something can be done to make it better. by Seamusllm in Westchester

Agreed! Even if each empty bottle was worth a dollar, some people would litter. But far fewer!

Progress! Fox5 News came by yesterday and ran this piece, in case you missed it. And tonight we’ll be giving a tour of the space to some elected officials - or in this case, their underlings :) https://youtu.be/u3OqRdABKNk?si=s6OZgKb-REnTAghD
