Lovely little square off Lincoln Center and Century 21 department store with movable seating and tables, also used as a farmers market on Saturdays. Lincoln Center Business Improvement District has a stand with tourist information about the area and a staff member to provide info. Good place to sit and eat your lunch/dinner Halal meal from the nearby Halal cart in front of Century 21. No free wifi unless you can catch the wifi signal from the subway station - this could change, so confirm in future visit.
The Greenmarkets gateway to the Upper West Side. Offers locally grown produce and seasonal vegetables range from fresh staples. Knowledgeable growers are at market to explain just how to care for their plants, flowers, and herb pots indoors and out. Impeccable farmstead fresh eggs are my favorites.****
Flanked by nonstop traffic and stream of subway patrons, this is more of a place to meet friends en route elsewhere than it is a park to relax. Still, its a nice slice of greenery, like a flower growing out of a crack in the sidewalk. (I had no idea there was a monument to an opera star here.)

2022-05-09Wedged between Broadway Ave and Columbus Ave in 66th Street, dont 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.

2021-07-05Very nice area, friendly, safe, relaxing. Theres a great coffee stand in front of ABC studios that I visit every single day and really great team that runs it. Then theres 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.

2021-10-16This is not so much a park, as a good spot for a very nice Farmers Market on Saturday morning and perhaps other times too?

2017-11-14A 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

2019-02-08Park is a generous word to describe this little island. Its nice and all, there is a lovely farmers market sometimes. On a nice day, its a great place to sit and have a coffee or do some work in an outdoor setting.

2017-10-27This 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.

2019-10-13This 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.

2019-10-21Pleasant albeit small neighborhood meeting place. Childrens playground, a take one, leave one library box, some benches and a revolutionary war-era cannon. And lots of people walking their dogs.

2018-11-20What can I say about this place? Grassy hills, nature, plenty of hiking trails, picnic spots, lots of parking, great for people watching...oh, and did I mention absolutely free?! Yup, this place has it all. But really, it will ALWAYS hold a special place in my heart for many reasons!!!!!!! I will be coming back here often :)

2017-08-19A definite tourist attraction. Lincoln Plaza movie theaters, ABC station headquarters, shopping places, etc. The spacious and roomy setting to move around to get to where you are going rather quickly and the upbeat feel it has when walking by the stores, etc. My kind of location -- wide open and the feel of freedom. Love the easy access to transportation wherever you ate headed.
