I had finished work near the Northern tip of Battery Park and Pete met up with me there. (1) I showed him Tom […]
Taken in Union Square – forgot which clothing store this is.
I took some time out this week to go to Battery Park, on the North tip right at the end of Chambers Street. It is a gorgous expanse of trees, grass, and a little concrete sitting area with benches, chess tables, and a wonderful array of metal art pieces done by Tom Otterness.
