This is a great little getaway while I'm waiting for the bus. When you enter the revolving doors,…read moreyou are greeted by tall trees and a roof of skylights offering a lot of natural light. There are quite a few tables and chairs and surprisingly little noise despise being by such a busy street. There are security guards in there so I feel safe and occasionally go around sweeping to keep the area clean. The only slight con would be the bird poop on some of the tables and chairs from the birds that occasionally get in. It's not too messy though. It's a great place if you're looking for a place to eat, get some work done, or rest for a while.

It's full of a ton of natural light, plenty of tables and chairs to sit, and there's plenty of security guards (like a ton of cops crossing through) there's a little bar here too with a happy hour from 3-6!

Wheelchair traveler review. Unfortunately, I have to give…read morethis place a poor rating because it is definitely not wheelchair friendly. I couldn't go inside with my family. I had to wait on the sidewalk while they quickly looked around. They told me it was really nice and I think the idea is fantastic but it needs to be wheelchair friendly.

What a delightful little garden to relax in!! I happened upon the garden while waiting for the…read moreDaily Show call time. I'm so glad the gate was open, even though it wasn't during posted hours. I found a mini-beach where I could get sandy feet while relaxing in an adirondack chair, a bathtub of goldfish for zen-like pond watching, wind chimes hidden in a tree, butterflies dancing between flowers, a vegetable garden, bees doing their pollinating work, and yes, even a mouse foraging for its share. For those who live near the garden, it also seems to have composting bins in the back, to help supply fertilizer for the garden and perhaps neighbors as well. It's certainly an Oasis in the city, with only a hint of noise from nearby 10th Ave, and very little traffic along 52nd St. My only reason for deducting a star is that it doesn't seem like it would be open often enough for many passersby to enjoy.

This public plaza is little pocket park and is located at 50th Street and Park Avenue in Manhattan…read morewith a cool waterfall that displays different color lights throughout the year. It includes a landscaped greenery and places to sit and to relax darning the day. What most people are unaware of is the park hides a MTA ventilation facility for the East Side Access project to support the new Long Island Railroad terminal at Grand Central Terminal a few blocks away. The park is not as popular has some of the other pocket parks due to not having a small cafe or food outlet as some of the other pocket park in the area do have.
