PARK(ing) Day NYC

Today is Parking Day NYC.
Its a nationwide movement to raise awareness of the importance of parks and open spaces in urban areas.
Our office Cook+Fox Architects along with Terrapin Bright Green have set up this park on 6th Avenue between 19th and 20th street [1].

We have transplanted a portion of our green roof down to the street level to raise visibility of alternative green spaces in the very vertical city.
Other spots in the city can be found here [3].

If you are in the neighborhood, stop by, hang out in our park and say a hello to us.
