Honestly, it wasn't that impressive. It's not really a Hall of Fame as the title describes…read more Most of the artwork was behind a chain link fence of a school which was locked. When here I expected to see more. Sure, some of the graffiti art is creative and well done, and these people have great talent. Yet, you can view just as much cool graffiti art walking around the streets of Harlem and El Barrio on buildings and side streets. Just look around and keep your eyes open.

This one, in particular, was started by an apparent Superwoman named Francoise Cachalin, who defended this Safe-Haven from Ye Ole gentrification and didn't live to see the fruits of her labor. I'm so glad she fought for it. *Especially* during COVID/ post-lockdown era, I and other New Yorkers I've observed have come to appreciate the sacred outdoors. In the NE, we don't have good weather often, so Summer is the *best* time to take advantage of the lil free NYC perks like these. Anyway: I stumbled upon this place during my recent exploratory strolls through the East Village. What a cute gem. Ample seating for such a small space, mild greenery (we're not talking a jungle and that's OK). Some lil trinkets and garden art throughout. Totally serene, I don't see any justification for negative reviews. IF I lived down here I would *definitely* be in a place like this every. single. morning. PS: They have great deals for membership if you have a green-thumb and want to literally cultivate this atmosphere. Also, you can have group gatherings here for a *very* reasonable price, which I think is a great resource during these dark days of anti-socialization.

Check it out on the UWS and get some cool pictures in front of here. The art doesn't look like it's complex, more of like a commentary that's the more complex thing about this. It somehow has become a thing to check out, because it's one of the few surviving pieces of Banksy public art. Officially it's titled Better Out Than In #20, and was part of a series. These appeared on the UWS in October 2013 and most disappeared soon after that. An acrylic panel protects it from graffiti artists...such as Banksy. So ironic. Zabar's put up the protection and has made the public aware of this. Cool that a great place like that takes an interest in art. They have some of the best bagels so be sure to go get some. As Banksy has gone onto bigger things it's cool that one of his older projects is around. It's at Broadway and 79th on the side of a building. This is a few blocks from Zabar's.

Haring's art was pop art and grew out of the NYC graffiti subculture of the 1980s - most chalk outlines of figures, dogs, and other stylized images on blank black advertising spaces. I've seen his work at art museums all around including NYC's MoMA https://www.yelp.com/biz/the-museum-of-modern-art-new-york-3?hrid=8el6z7cg_SbGTmsbGqp1NA and the Steelijk in Amsterdam https://www.yelp.com/biz/stedelijk-museum-amsterdam-3?hrid=eiOAubUVrqOwxKBdVK_HKQ. It is a whimsical piece and having the name, you can definitely see the man and the dog and the action going on. [Review 18350 overall - 348 in New York - 1872 of 2022.]
