Under the shade of one of the largest stands of American Elm trees in North America, without a skyscraper in sight, you can truly feel like you’ve left the city behind for a minute. Once a place to stroll in your Sunday best, it’s now an area where many artists and performers set up shop (but not in an obnoxious way) and it’s a great place to grab a bench and watch the fabulous eccentricities of the strangers around you unfold over an afternoon.
