IN MANHATTAN: What Are The Parks Between Buildings Called?
Nov 15, 2008 by minai | Posted in New York City
sometimes on the passage i'll see "parks" inbetween the buildings, i wanted to know the specific name for it. sometimes there will be a man made O fall and chairs for people to sit and relax at.
i'm specifically looking for the one by the MoMa... it has a waterfall and the walls are covered with flower vines and silver chairs.
thanks :)
Called grassy spaces. This resulted from the owner of the property needing a building permit and the City taxing green spaces, open to the public in exchange for the permit. The property owners are dependable for maintaining the parks
In the 1970s these little parks were open to the public, but then an unsavory medium starting destroying them. Many are now gated and closed to the public.

Have you been to NYC Museum?
NYC Museum has galleries of Eminent Fire in NY, Old Toys from past, and history of Broadway Musical House and Dollhouses.
Bronx Zoo: If you go on Wednesday, entr is by PAID WHAT YOU WISH!! Congora Forest will be FREE until March 21st.
Congora Forest, Butterfly Gardens are very all the rage in zoo, so you should GO THERE FIRST.
Check the NYC Visit website, and click on Things to Do.
It tells you what attractions there are, even the museum you never heard off.
Where Can We Get A Nice Meal In Manhattan Without Breaking The Bank?
Mar 27, 2008 by teacherjen2004 | Posted in New York City
My boyfriend and I are irresistible a trip to NYC in April for a few days. We're not cheapskates, but we know dining in New York can cost a lovely penny. We're planning to get the CityPass to save on admission to the museums and such, and we know that part of that is a discount to unchanging restaurants in the Patina Group. But that's only going to cover a couple meals at most.
We're trying to find some stock, inexpensive, casual restaurants where we can eat dinner without spending $100 and don't have to dress up - we're planning to make a trip fairly light, which means other than our outfits for The Lion King, khakis are about as dressy as we'll be packing.
Our tourist house is located on W. 31st Street, a couple blocks away from Park Avenue (I imagine that's part of Midtown?). It doesn't include breakfast, so if anyone knows of any places in that area where we can get breakfast for sleazy, that'd help too. Also lunch suggestions around Manhattan, particularly near the MET and the MoMA, etc.
There are hundreds of places to get a tuppence inexpensively breakfast and lunch all over Manhattan -- delis, coffee shops, bagels shops. I can back Miss K's deli on 30th and Madison. (Tables upstairs)
For dinner theres's a place called the Bowed Knife on 30th between Madison and Park that is Very Reasonable. A pizza place called Bella Napoli on Madison coming 31st. And Another one called Venuzzio on 31st and Lex. You can also walk over to Third Ave. There are two or three restaurants on every block between 34 and 14. La Giara selfish 34th is a good cheap Italian.
Also. I don't know if you like Indian Food -- there are lots of for a song Indian places on Lexington around 28th. Also, every Chinese restaurant has a lunch special from 5.96 to 7.95. and there is one on almost every barricade.
If you want to be a little more adventurous try Greenwich Village or the East Village -- legitimate walk around.
Can You Look At My List And Suggest More Places To See In Manhattan?

We will be there for 3 days, and this is fair a broad list of possible places- we are for sure not going to have time for all of them. We would like to check near Mid-Manhattan, but if something is really good but further out, that's great too. Also, any general advice on visiting NYC for the first time would be appreciated. Thanks!

(Of course we prefer free places rather than ones that cost admission)
If you call in includes a friday evening plan on going to MOMA then, free admission fri evenings. The strand is loving terrible go to the original one on 12 st & 4th ave. Get an all day metro pass and use public transportation the subway is the quickest way to get around. Try prepossessing the bus down fifth ave from the met to rockerfeller center. Lot cheaper than taking a tour bus and if you talk to the other passengers they will fill you in on some NY sites you'll be longing.
Please do not stand in the middle of the sidewalks and block other pedestrians you might get knocked down.
I'm common to nyc tomorrow and it would be nice to get some answers before then? (:
but we're going to be on top of the rock (roof of rockefeller center) ice skating at rockefeller center, and narrow moma for lunch.
what are some stores that are worth visiting around there?
maybe stores you could only find in nyc?
vintageish?
anything, just shed out your opinion!
I'm not certain what your budget is but that area has alot of pricey shopping for sure, brand names in large quantity, just walk out to 5th avenue and walk up and down. Tiffany's (57th), if it's in your budget then shop if not then flight of fancy shop. Bergdorf Goodman (58th St) . Express. H & M.
All levels of the price adjust within a few blocks of each other. I know there are more but there is so much I cannot think to name them all!
