Aside from the fact that it was so surreal to actually see it in person because I’ve seen it on a lot of movies/series, there is something so inviting about this park. It’s in the middle of the city, just a few steps and you’re already looking at NYU.

This was January 2019. You can see a diversity of people just chilling and having fun. Kids playing and running, this man is making ginormous bubbles, the other guy is playing piano, other people are reading, bonding with their family... WSP sure had witnessed a lot. UGHH.💕

A lovely little park right by Grenwich Village. Well maintained with beautiful gardens, chessboards, a fountain, and an iconic arch. It's great for people watching, street performances and relaxing.

Love coming here because there is always a ton of activity from singers, musicians,  dancers, chess, dog run, playgrounds and squirrels you can hand feed. A lot of students and tourists can be found roaming around.
