Parks & Nature

The quirky heart of Alphabet City--amazing for people watching, especially on weekends. There are lots of eccentric performances (planned and impromptu) and community events. Plenty of benches and grass areas to sit in on nice days.

The East River Park can be accessed by walking east along 11th St or 6th St. It's not as nice as the West Side waterfront, but there are walking trails and bike paths that span much of the East Side.
